These are our pets! They are so much fun! They each add value in their own unique way.

| K.C. was a gift from a good friend. He is a beautiful mix of a Great Dane and we're not sure what else. He is a gentle giant, but fortunately people who drive up to our house don't know that. He appears very intimidating! |
 |
| Look what came in the mail! This was almost a year ago. It was the beginning of a little egg business for Mark. |
 |
| An assortment of 55 pullets to see if we preferred one breed over another. |
 |
| All the boys have become very good at picking up little chick without causing harm. This is obviously a lot of fun for this 6 yr old. |
 |
| Six months later, this is what they produce. Its wonderful! |
We have three milking goats. Raina, pictured above left, is a Nubian. Raina is a sweet goat, but very stubborn too.This past spring, she kidded two bucks, pictured above right. We have recently learned not to give the kids names that we do not intend to keep. We sold these two to a friend who needed help keeping his pasture cleared. Pictured below is Lulu, an Alpine. When we first got her, she was only producing about a pint a day. Then in the spring, she increased to a quart and a half. I think she has a goofy personality, but is very pretty.
The white one on the left is Beatrice. She is a Saanen and a great milk producer. She is the boss of the little herd. She kidded a doe and buck this spring, whom we named Elsa and Kristof (pictured below right) from the movie Frozen because it was literally frozen the day they were born. And where we live, that doesn't happen very often.
This is our little hobby farm! Thanks for taking a look!
