Off We Go to The Fair

We are headed to the MN State Fair in St. Paul, MN over Labor Day weekend. We includes Laura, Chris and 22 goats. It is quite an experience taking a full livestock trailer on Hwy 494 - but that's all part of the fun, right? If you're in the area, and decide to take part in the great MN get together - be sure to stop in at the Goat/Sheep barn and say hello. Laura will have her cell phone with her if you want to check out where abouts before hand. Although we will be showing most of the day on Saturday, we will be there from Friday through Monday. We look forward to seeing old friends, making new friends and enjoying the chaos and energy that is the State Fair!

New Calves

We are happy to have 4 new residents at Four Seasons Farm. We have 4 new calves! These guys will help drink all of our extra milk. It is a really good feeling to know that nothing gets wasted around here. We sold our previous 3 calves about a week before - and actually ended up dumping a fair amount of milk. So, welcome our newest MCU's - milk consumption units! We haven't named tham yet, as we are still getting to know them.

Goats for Sale

People often ask us if we have goats for sale. Sometimes we do - but not often, unless they are buck kids going as pets or breeding stock. There are many reasons for this - mainly that Laura feels the need to hang on to all the animals and finds it hard to part with them. But, all that is about to change. Chris has requested that we cut back our numbers a little bit. This will make things more managable over the winter, and make room for all of the yearlings that will be freshening in the spring of 2010.

So, we are listing a number of animals for sale. We are not getting out of goats - trust me - there are many more! We thought we would list those for sale here, and try to post photos soon. If you are interested in one or a couple of these wonderful, show quality, CAE free animals please contact us soon.
