Missing Willow Farm

Mina was one of the first two goats to come live on Missing Willow Farm.  We got her and a friend, Bellatrix LeStrange (Bella) from a dairy in North Carolina about three houres from here when they were just a week old and I bottle fed them.  Cheese manufacturers want the milk from the moms, they are happy to send the kids to new homes.  Mina is an alpine and nubian breed mix.  She’s very mischevious.  She always tries to follow me into the feed room, hoping to find some spilled grain or another treat that only she’ll be able to enjoy.  The first photo was taken last Summer, the second was taken today.  She’s obviously pregnant, the only question is with how many?  Her nickname lately is Octomom.  She’s a terrific milker and we’re looking forward to fresh chevre again.
