We currently have seven kittens ready for new homes!

Meg and Dixie (mom and adult daughter) had their kitties on the same day in August!

They are all now ready for new homes. All these kitties have been very well loved and are very people friendly. They have made excellent progress on their litterbox training and have been raised indoors.

Please let us know if your interested in one. They are free to good homes.
See http://www.gabrielsbanner.com/10thvirginia/drowsywaters/Kittens.htm For lots of pictures!

More pictures. :)

I hope these turn out a bit better as I'm working on posing properly!

R R Resources Virginia Grace at six months of age.

Goat Palace T Sophie Cornflower at six moths of age.

Goat Palace T Sally Blue Eyes at seven months of age.

Gwen...she wasn't holding still to well so this is the best shot we got. Age three months.

Drowsy Waters Ella at age five/fourth freshening pictured five hours after last milking, 180 days in milk. Still milking 14 lbs a day. I'm hoping to get a good, full picture of her and her udder soon, but so fare the picture shoots haven't been happening at the right times. This picture does not do her justice in the slightest!
She is due with R R Resources Mannasah's kids in the middle of January.

Whisper'n'Pines Shya pictured as a dry 7 year old ready to have babies late October or November.

Bryarose Farms Brieanna pictured as a first freshening two year old five hours from last milking. This is a rather bad shot of Brie's topline, but it shows some of the wonderful doe this gal is!

Cove Orchard Penelope as a dry yearling. Not the best picture of Penny, but it gives you an idea of her potential. She is a real sweet heart. I can't wait until January when she will freshen!


Penny again...loving to be scratched!

Another picture of Sophie! So cute!!!!


Brie looking on...


C.K. Amelia...looking a little massive for only 1 month pregnant. :)
Her and Aravis are due early January along with Ella and Penny.


Thanks for looking!
I've updated everything on the website except our rabbit pages which I will be getting to soon!

Sadly, these pictures are from the first week of September and I am just now getting them up!

Here are 5 month and 2 month photos of Virginia and Gwen, but I really should be taking their 6 month and 3 months pictures. It's a busy life!

Gwen at a wonderful two months. She is growing well and a sweet heart!








Virginia Grace at 5 months. We are getting alittle bit better at this, but as you can see we aren't perfect yet!

Whisper' N Pines WNPF Shaya
She's pictured as a dry, pregant doe here at seven years old.
Now Shaya is very much at home and is a very sweet girl. We can't wait until she has her babies!!!!!!

Brayrose Brieanna
Pictured here as a milking two year old. She's only about 5 hours in milk here. Still giving us a good three quarts a day, which is pretty good considering how long she's been milking for her first year. She is now much more settled in and we are all enjoying her as well!





Me and Louis, our five year old Katahdin ram.

A month or so ago someone came out to the farm and was amazed at his size. This gives you a better idea of how big he really is. Louis is our gentle giant and has made a huge impact on our Katahdin flock and our farm.



Thank you for looking!

We received our test results back this week from WSU!

All goats were negative to CAE and CL!

Very happy, of course.:)

There has also been two new aditions to the herd. We've decided to go all Toggenburgs and Nubians as fare as milk goats! A thank you to Marie Layman for Bree and Shaya!

Bree is in her first freshening and milking nicely at two years old.

Shaya is seven, dry, and pregnant (hopefully!). She should freshen in time for our bottle baby Boers that we will be getting.:)
Stay on the look out for pictures as soon as I can get them up!

Did you wonder why there was new photos of everyone except Virginia Grace?

Ok, so maybe she needs to learn how to stand still, but we all adore her anyway! She is getting better.

Thanks for looking!

Some pictures taken well we cleaned out the barn for all the new alfalfa coming in...

Virginia- "Oh my!"



Gwen- "Time to eat yet?"



Virginia- "Come on, I want to play too!"



Gwen- "I know I can get through here!"



Mannasah- "Hewwo?"

About a week ago, well doing chores, I cought some very naughty critters in the act!

After bottle feeding Virginia (yes...she's my big baby and still on the bottle) and Gwen I came into the milk room to mix Ella's grain before milking. I must have been very quite, because when I opened the window and called for her to come in everyone was still lazing around and their was no return wail from Ella. I looke around the corner to discover Aravis 7 month old triplets taking a snack of our goat milk! ELLA! Silly girl. I guess she knew she had triplets somewhere!

No wonder Ella's milk has been going rapidly down...ever since we put the sheep back in that pasture! Now we are back to normal production. Goofy goat! Naughty lambs!


Just so you can see how big they are for being such babies...

Thanks for looking!
