Leaps of Faith

February 29, 2012


Caprini means goats in Italian. We are currently a one goat farmlet, with an Italian American farm husband, on a hill. 14 hens of various breeds, one silkie rooster who rules the roost, 9 whacked out ducks, and Daisy, a "Saanerhasli", yet to be bred. We will become Caprini once again at the end of April when we bring home our two new doelings from Aspen Creek Farm. Rose is a pygmy/Nigerian Dwarf cross and Clover is a "Snubian", a Saanen/Nubian cross. This will be another milkless year since we have no plans to purchase a goat in milk. That does not mean that I'm not constantly checking Craigslist however!
