Itty Bitty Hooves

Whoops, I did it again

LOL, well I just couldn’t resist. I have a new addition again. A beautiful registered Alpine doe that my friend Ellen helped out in buying. I mentioned to her when I was picking up milk for the kids this morning that there was a bred Alpine doe for sale in Indiana, but I wasn’t sure because she was said to be ’small’ and also, I really didn’t have the money at the moment.

Ellen said “I do” let’s go see her. So after running errands she came by with her trailer and we were off to Indiana. Polly was destined to come home with us. What a personality this doe has, and she’s BLACK and WHITE which is something I really wanted. I’d told Ellen that on the way there… I sure hope she’s either black, or black and white. Well she was. But it was her personality that won the day. What a lover. She’s really not all that small either. Maybe not as large as some Alpines, but not particularly teeny either. She’s bred to a purebred Alpine buck (also quite the lover) and due to kid in May. She’s pretty large already though, and we even felt the kids kicking in there. What a neat feeling.

So, Mickey has a new lady friend waiting for him, and Ellen has a partnership in the kid sales… and I have a new friend. LOL

Pictures tomorrow when the sun comes back up.

They Got Here!

Finally, the pictures arrived today! I’m so excited to present our newest addition (will actually be arriving here in Illinois in April) - Mickey–

And three of his daughters will be coming along for the ride–

The kid in the front

And these two:

thanks so much Sherry and Brent for letting us add these magnificient animals to our herd.
