New kid on The Block

Another new baby. Our first coloured angora. A very healthy little boy,faded red with a wide white belt. Can't tell what his fibre is yet,but if it has the Angora characteristics I'm one happy goat owner.
Our puppies are going to get their initial vet visit to-day and then Watson will go to his new home. The litter is in the process of being registered and then I can list the remaining babies on the CKC website.

New puppy pictures

The puppies are growing by the day and are finding that their favorite thing to do is play in the grass. They have discovered kibble and Mom only feeds them once or maybe twice for short periods of time each day.
They will be ready for their new homes after they have had their first shots.


KIDS



The first kids have arrived!These two Angora x Cashmere bucklings are everything I had hoped for. They have the mohair fibre characteristics with some cashmere finesse. They are healthy,happy and sooo much fun. But because we 3 bucks already they are for sale $150.00 each.

Mohair rovings

I tried spinning fat mohair rovings last night with the bulky spinner on my Ashford Traditional. They are soft,lofty and what a shine! I can't wait to make a big huggy scarf with it. I'll post a pic when I get it made.

Babies

The windstorm passed and we only lost our power for a couple of hours. Just down the road they were out for 4 days.
Almost finished shearing the goats. One left. The first Cashgorra babies were born yesterday and at the same time Mama Muscovy brought her flock of 12 ducklings out. Over the next month we will be busting out babies on a regular basis.
Looking forward to doing a felting demo at the Celebrate Havelock show on the 14th. of this month.
The puppies are now on puppy kibble and water. Mama really doesn't want anything to do with them unless she can play with them outside.
