Goat Babies go wild!

Announcing the arrival of Brankton Karson's Chanel


We were very fortunate to be able to purchase Chanel, a beautiful Cou Blanc from David Brank. She is by Brankton Chico Karson out of Brankton Golden Nella.

Thank you David!

Five new baby goats are born • April 25th and 28th



Great news. Samba birthed 2 beautiful babies, a doe and a buck by Brankton's Nike Kipling on April 25th. Then Jitterbug out did herself and birthed 3 doelings by Brankton's Nike Kipling on the 28th. We were barely there for that birthing. She was finished by the time we got out to the barn to check on her.

Samba's babies are Piccolo and Coco.

Jitterbug's are Velvet, Itsy and Star. We almost lost Star but thanks to David Brank, she pulled through.
