January 21, 2012

We made it!  Three full days on our feet chatting about goats, caramel, and whether my dad actually lets me drive that tractor I’m sitting on in the background photo. (He doesn’t.)  This was our first big show, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I thought it went really well. Tim [...]

Good Morning, it’s 20 Below.

January 16, 2012

Christmas Came Early

December 23, 2011

Christmas came early this year to Fat Toad Farm in the form of our veterinarian, Dr. Barry, performing ultrasounds on our goats to make sure that they’re pregnant.  The result?  Almost everyone is expecting, with a few that we will re-check because they were far enough along to show.  I wish we had had our [...]
