12-25 - Mountain Star Antique Quilt pattern adorns barn

John made a cut-out of our logo to adorn the barn, it's the antique quilt pattern called Mountain Star. It was a great present and I am thrilled.

12-3 Samba and Jitterbug bred to Brankton's Niki Kipling

Well, hopefully, new baby goats will arrive around April 25th and 26th. We have bred Samba and Jitterbug to David Brank's wonderful buck, Brankton Nike's Kipling. He scored 89 points on his confirmation exam last spring.

8-16 Our Herd name is official!

We received verification that we can use the herd name Mountain Star. We will be registering Buckey as Mountain Star Honus after Sarah's Dad's Carl Sandburg goat and our doe will be registered as Mountain Star Adhara Dali.

Adhara is a star located in the Epsilon Canis Majoris constellation. All of our does will be named after stars. 2008 goats will begin with A's. 2009 names will begin with B's, etc.

8-9 Bebop & Buckey get new home

We decided to sell Bebop and Buckey to Chuck Campbell and Sarah York of Moores Pond Farm. It was a difficult decision to let Bebop go but in the end I think it is a good thing to do. Now our herd consists of Samba, Jitterbug and Dali.
