A Few pictures of the Farm Critters

What a nice physique Harvey has. The ever present straw on his back from his bed/nest. Every time we clean out the barn and put in new straw, Harvey pushes most of it into his bed.

Harvey is growing up. Those are tusks at the back of his mouth. Luckily he hasn't learned that they can be used for defensive or offensive purposes. The white at the front of his mouth is slobber. Hey, he's a pig.


Our two newest goats from last spring are dwarf Nigerians. They have lots of personality. As most goats go, they like to climb. The little ones really like to climb. This is Gibson. He reminds me of an African antelope. He is very shy and runs out of reach whenever we try to approach him. He is standing on the woodshed overflow. We have plenty of wood this year.

Out with the Alpacas and in with some New Kids

Meet Clara (front and center) and Gibson in the background. The alpacas, Sur and Randall ate too much for our little farm. It looked like we were going to have to feed them hay year around. Our two new kids are Nigerian Dwarfs. We had one before, Sarah. She died rather suddenly. We really enjoyed her with her abandant personality. So with the alpaca money we got two Nigerians. Gibson is a wether, a castrated boy. Clara is fully operational. So we could have kids some day if we decided to pursued that adventure.

Already they have started showing there cute personalities. They are a little shy but warming up to us more and more every day. Spring fun at the farm. DMP
