From that time I have been trying to learn as much as possible, lurking here and on other forums along with watching videos and surfing the net for any scrap of info I could find.  

Now that I finally have a home with enough space to start my own herd I'm afraid I've gone goat crazy.  I put deposits down three goats before we even closed on our property and am going to look at another three this weekend. I picked up our first duo the same day we moved in, half-sisters, January and Siren, that are half Kiko and half Saanen.



Picking up goat #3 the first week in August. IAD Cantrell, 100% Kiko buckling, will be our herdsire if he turns out to be like his dad.



Numbers 4,5,6 are two soon to be wethers and their sister. 1/2 Oberhasli, 1/4 Kiko, and 1/4 Boer. My ultimate goal is to have a packgoat specific breeding program but that is away off.  Right now we're just having fun and enjoying the environmentally friendly brush clearing.
