Excited!!!

I am SOOO excited! We went yesterday and ordered the materials for our new housing barn! We were really hoping to have someone else build it, but it would have just blown our entire budget.......so........I guess "WE" are the construction crew. :)

The barn will be a 24 x 50 with 3 sliding doors (one on the South end, one on the West side and one on the East side) for ventilation. Not really worried about the inside configuration right now. We can take care of all of that once the construction project(s) are complete. The housing barn will butt up to the milk barn so that none of these "royal little princesses" will have to go outside in inclimate weather and ruin their pedicures! LOL

Keep checking back for updates!

New Buckling

We went Saturday and got a new junior buckling. He is a fine looking little fellow and comes from a long line of Superior Genetics and milk. It was kind of hard to actually be in the market for another buckling after loosing Norman, but the fact is we will have does that need to be bred this winter and I am really looking forward to seeing what this fella brings to the herd.

I found the perfect name for him, but alas, "other" people in the family want a different name.........I will update here when a final decision has been made. Pictures coming soon!

Yesterday was a sad sad day at Canyon Ridge Farms. Norman was losing his battle with urinary calculi and it became evident that it was in his best interest to end his suffering. This was one wonderful boy who had a regal yet gentle and loving nature. He will be greatly missed.

We want to thank all who have offered support and advice and we want to give a special thank you to an email acquaintance who has become a special friend. Suriyah of Good Goats offered her medications and advice to help Norman while we were trying to get meds located and in stock. Suriyah's love and caring means so much to us and I'm sure, that had Norman met her, he would have loved her too. Thank you Suriyah!
