How the farm started

Our journey starts back in the spring of 2018. My wife came to me and said “I want to do more of the homesteading thing” she went on to tell me how she wanted rabbits and chickens. I responded with ok, but I want goats. After some long hours of research, I narrowed it down to the San Clemente Island Goat and the Kiko Meat Goat. The first farm we visited I fell in love with their herd Sire Blue Print. We visited for a couple hours and got some really good information. Just before Christmas I contacted Marble Creek Acres and had a good talk with Josh. I made an appointment for January 5, 2019. We had a budget and all the intent on buying 2 goats that they had for sale. A young female named Dixi and a little male called Guni. We ended up buying 3 papered goats Maggie, Dixi and Guni all 3 not related to each other. We negotiated with Josh to have the girl’s breed, Maggie to Quto and Dixi to Lava. Just for the record, I spent double the budget. Josh agreed to keep the goats at his farm until spring when we would be ready to take them. At the end of winter, we drove up and visited and ended up buying a commercial male named Rama. Spring rolled around quick and in a blink of an eye we were goat owners. Maggie giving birth to 2 boys Faro and Gili, Dixi giving Birth to a boy Razi and a girl named Zari. Now goat farming and the real learning begins.
