FRED DESANTIS
Loving the herd life
Hi,
This is the beginning of my journal. First off to avoid confusion with my friend cntryBoy 777 whom is also named Fred I can be referred to as Fred D .
First a little about myself. I bought 5.5 acres outside Celeste TX back in 2006 with the hopes of retiring there someday. I lived in Dallas at the time and had a good friend and neighbor Charlie, he had some land in Quinlan TX and raised bison. After I got my land Charlie suggested goats would be a good choice for my small place. We had many many conversations about goats and I was hooked. Charlie passed away years ago.
After considerable research I decided on the Kiko goat breed for their parasite resistance and mothering abilities.
I retired Jan 1 2018. For 25 years I owned and ran a small delivery business with two 26' box trucks I drove one and paid a guy to drive the other. This past May I sold my house in Dallas and moved onto the Lazy D
I have a faFacebo page that can be accessed here https://www.facebook.com/The-Lazy-D-279785329265130/
The goats arrived October 12. Two purebred Does and a Buck all between 8 and ten months old....and it seems like it's been raining ever since.
I will post my journey here
