We finally added goats to our farm. They are Nigerian Dwarfs which originated in west Africa. They are a small breed and excellent milkers both of which are making them an increasingly popular choice for a dairy goat. Approximately three Nigerians will eat as much as one full-sized goat yet produce an average of 1.5 quarts of milk compared to about three quarts for the larger goats. We are so excited to have them and start building our herd! We will have goat milk soap and whatever else at some point.

I just made an appointment with the butcher for November 3rd, so we will have pork available around the middle of November. These guys are a Duroc/Berkshire cross and are hands down the best pork we've ever had. They are raised on pasture along with scaps, corn and ADM Golden Hog feed. No antibiotics or hormones!
