Our farm and family!

Our famous "goat house" often raises a few questions with the UPS man and others who visit. One day when he brought a package I was doing goat chores as usual and I told him "you know we don't live here don't you?" He just laughed and said it didn't matter this is West Virginia. ha ha Well the house came with the property that we bought to raise goats on so we decided to turn it into a barn. The goats just love it and it makes a perfect labor and delivery area. As you can see below they love playing on the hearth.

  

         

  

          Sierra received Reserve Grand Champion at our local fair with a percentage doe that we raised and she was so excited. She was lucky enough to get her donated back too so we can breed for fair kids next year.

                     
          I also get attached too much! This is Sierras market doe the day of the sale. She did get donated back so we can continue snugglin' at home. Hey, I raised her in the house for 2 months with a diaper she's one of the family!

  • We have several stalls made up for the does to have some privacy at kidding time and then the kids use them to enjoy some R & R and their first chance at grain without the pushing and shoving of hungry mommies. Theres small doors cut in some of them for easy in and outs.


    This is Sierra, my daughter, and her wether; Joker. She had him at our local Buckwheat Festival last year. She did real well with him they were 1st in her class.


  • My son Nathan, he finally got out of the goat business and is now showing steer.

    I didn't want any pictures of myself but my sister insisted so here I am in my favorite place in the world; in a dirty stall,covered in who wants to admit what with a 150 lb. doe laying on my legs while she gives birth to twins. Hey, I love goats!


  • Chris is a pro at grinding feet. I used to use hoof nippers until we saw a demo from Sisters II where they used a grinder.  Boy am I glad we found a new way, now all I have to do is clip a little in between.


    Our daughter in law; Ashley is another goat lover that enjoys spending time with them, the red one is one she raised and gave me as a birthday present! Lucky me! Thanks to her for volunteering to hold kids at vaccination time.


  • Jeremy isn't as much as a goat lover as his dad. As you can see his passion is cattle. I can say when we need him he's always there with that helping hand. Thanks to him feeding for us we can travel with our goats this summer.


    Pictures like these speak for themselves.

     

                      

                        This is Nathaniels market steer this year. He picked him off our own farm and raised him out to finish at 1195 pounds at Buckwheat Festival time. He'd like to throw out a huge thanks to Seth and Vicki Cogar of Mountaineer Mini Trucks for purchasing his steer this year!!! Watch for next year he'll be bringing "Smokie" a grey angus cross.
