This week I’ve got a couple videos of Nibbles!  She was our first doe, and I might have a few stories to tell about her!  (Remind me!)https://youtu.be/MZjHTddM6SA Catch you there!-Phil

Well, I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but we’ve been calling the new little one “Nubbin”. Perhaps not so suited to such a big girl, but it sounds so well with “Nibbles”. I don’t have any new photos since mostly she’s spent the last few days sleeping in the shed. Today she was out … Continue reading Nibbles, Nubbin, and Lilly the “diva mom” →

So we got Nibbles bred the other day to a Nubian buck. Yeah, yeah, I know. We have this wonderful little Alpine doe with a beautiful pedigree and what do we do? We breed her to a Nubian even though practically everyone says Nubians and Nubian crosses are loud and lazy and stupid. Well, Cuzco … Continue reading Nibbles goes on a date and other stories →

So the big exciting news around here is that we bought Cuzco a buddy yesterday! She’s a 3-month-old registered Alpine doe. After watching her taste every conceivable type of plant, rock, clothing item, or other object within reach, we decided to call her “Nibbles”. She never stopped tasting things for the entire afternoon. She had … Continue reading Say hello to Nibbles! →

We spent a very nice night in the B & B where we were very happy to be able to shower after three days of camping in San Rafael. But it was only one night because the B & B was booked on Saturday, so Phil and I took the opportunity to go on our first … Continue reading 8th Annual Hassey “Goat Vacation” – Utah: Day 7 →

Nubbin is the only goat in our herd that Cuzco actually seems to like. When we take a walk, Nubbin usually stays right in Cuzco’s shadow and he doesn’t push her away. At night, she is the only goat he sometimes allows in his shed. Funny how goats’ preferences work. Nubbin’s mother, Nibbles, was the first goat we … Continue reading Sentimental scraps →

Our third day in Escalante threatened rain again, so we thought we’d pick a couple of shorter hikes outside of town where the sky looked less ominous. The first one was Calf Creek Falls. We’d been here before with Nibbles and Cuzco in 2012, but it was so pretty we wanted to see it again … Continue reading Goat Vacation Day 6: Lower Calf Creek Falls →

We said goodbye to our sweet “Lilly-Goat” this week, and it’s been a difficult few days. Phil spent time with her on the “goat tower” that last morning and I snapped a few photos. It seems ironic that we bought Nibbles and Lilly because I saw Cuzco growing older and didn’t want to look out … Continue reading Rest In Peace, Sweet Lilly-Goat →

And let’s not forget dear, sweet Nubbin. I dried her off a few weeks ago, and she should be about half-way through her pregnancy now. She’s due May 2nd. Someone asked me last week how her tail got broken. Well, it never did (or else it came broken) because it’s had that kink in it … Continue reading And a few extras… →
