Happy New Year! Kids from one of our FaceBook friends farms. Thanks, Kathi! In North Bend, Ohio, Kathi Huber of http://www.3barnsfarm.com is being mobbed by babies! Who can resist a cute kid? Not Kathi! "She's eating my HAIR!" Kasandra & her LaMancha kid, Crystal. The little goat was so cute that Kasandra just let the goat chew on her hair... BTW, unless you really want a mass of tangled broken hair, do not let a goat chew on it. Sometimes it is just too hard to choose! This week we are featuring two great goat photos. Pat Allen from Oakboro NC sent this: "Here's one of Sherry Red and my husband Bob Mayor. Sherry Red is after his straw hat but, to the initiated, it looks like she's smooching on his ear. See our Goat Milk products at: http://www.GoatMilkBath.com " Michelle Burgess with Heavenly Blessings Farm in Lawndale, NC sends this adorable photo. "This is our Nigerian Dwarf doe Bella with her first kid, Star. Star was born on April 1, 2010.. & that's no April Fooling...lol Bella is a great mom even though she's a young mother... (she got pregnant without telling us... HA HA) We raise Nubians, Nigerians, & in the future plan on raising some Mini Nubians... some will hopefully have bue eyes!!!" Our website is http://www.heavenlyblessingsfarm.webs.com This photo was taken by Siegfried Forster who says: "On my way back from Tenesse to pick out next year's Junior Purebred Alpine Herdsire for Sunrise Farm, I stopped at Glastonbury Farm in Cosby, TN to see these rare Golden Guernsey's." Betsy Hutlin of Glastonbury Farm says, "That is Miss Pansey." These dairy goats are not an ADGA recognized breed, but I am excited about Betsy bringing some Golden Guernseys to the Dairy Goat Festival so that people can see some examples of this rare dairy goat. Happy Valentines Day! We could not resist posting a few photos and giving the goats that we love some extra attention and cookies on Valentines day! Valerie Thomas Graves writes, Fire-fly (mom), Doodle-Bug( baby) and Jessica from the Double G Ranch www.ashevilledoublegranch.com Kathy Thomason writes' This is our 2 year old granddaughter Bella with her favorite goat, Faith. She is quickly becoming a farm girl loving to spend days here with us as we feed the goats, llamas and anatolian dogs. Meagan Treadway Carter says, Here is our engagement party cake. What else would you expect from the 'goat couple'? Terri Raduege sends some baby kisses! Charles Wolff says, Ezzie and Ellie sunbathing after a long stretch of brutal winter days. Ezzie loves her daughter! There are plenty more cute photos on the FB Fans page: _____________________________________ This smiling LaMancha goat is named Donut.

Photo by: Siegfried Forster ![]() Leslie & Gordon Averill in Selma, NC are BIG goat fans! Been ADGA members since 1991? 2? Pretty long time, anyway. ![]() This week we have the lovely Kelley Hines and her LaMancha Dairy Goat, Martini in Feb 2009, before her traumatic kidding and subsequent surgery. You can see that Martini is a very loving and gentle doe. *For those of you who are not familiar with goat breeds, LaMancha goats have very tiny ears. To read more about Dairy Goat Breeds visit http://www.adga.org/breedstandards.html This comes from Jojo Milano. Jojo is the owner of Goodness Gracious Acres in South Florida and she writes: "MEET Daegen Bren... My newest addition. He's 11 months old. And he drove home from N. Florida in the back of my cab. :)"Hmmmm, I wonder if having a goat in your back seat qualifies you to use the car pool lane? Thank you Jojo!![]() Hasbro and owner Charles Wolff of GaGa Gardens in Columbus, NC. Charles and his wife Nance have many different kinds of goats. Hasbro is a smart little guy and has been trained to do tricks. Beth Neal Carey Curran sent this photo and comment: ![]() This is Wendy. No, she is not a house pet. No, she was not invited in. No, she is certainly not allowed to eat off the table. This is what happens when you walk in the house to get your milk pail w/o securing the goat and/or latching the door... ![]() Cairoline Deck and her pygmy goat "Susie" ![]() November 8, 2009 Beautiful newborn Lamancha kids, sent in by Sharon Levasseur.
