Our two new additions


Our two new additions are a Nubian goat doe and her son. He is suppose to have Boer in him, but I just don't see it yet. We got them yesterday at a small little place that had about 6 goats. They are skiddish, so I will have to work with them to bring them around. The doe is supposedly pregnant, I don't see that either, but the wife does. I guess we will see around December, January time frame.

The Wells Family Farm is really coming together now, getting the goats has been a God-send. We will be able to raise these two goats and the offspring to set up a really good meat production. Now we need to find a buck for the doe, almost forgot, the doe is Barbara and the son is called Tom. These names come from the British show "The Good Life", they were the main characters of the show that showed us about self-sufficiency. It was a show in the 70's that came to the United States titled "Good Neighbors". I am sure that a lot of people have seen this show due to the impact of the self sufficient crowd out there. But it has inspired the wife and me awhile ago but just this last few months we had the courage to finally start it.
