Hi Starlight! Welcome to Backyard Herds!

How exciting to have another Texan join our ranks! @Baymule and I met, here on BYH & are now the best of friends. We are about an hour drive, from each other. We talk on the phone and visit when we can. Our husbands get along famously, as well.

DH & I moved to our little 5 acre piece of Texas heaven a year ago last January & we love it here in East Texas.

We have 4 wethered ND goats, that we adore. We got them to help us clear the brush in the remaining 3-1/2 acres of our property. That is yet to happen though, because (try as we might) we haven't been able to put in the perimeter fence.

This summer we are planning to get a couple LaMancha does (hopefully bred). I would like to start milking them. Eventually I would like to breed them to an ND buck, so I can have MiniMancha's.

We also have 2 Maremma LGDs, who are awesome guardians, as well as 16 laying hens and a turkey hen, that lays eggs.

Hopefully @animalmom will chime in soon. She is another good friend, that I have met (face to face) since moving to East Texas, who is an awesome goat mom!

Do you have any pictures of the mini Nubian? I have been hearing about them and wondered what they looked like? Those are such cute names.

It's so interesting to hear about everyone being so close. My sisters goat is a Nigerian dwarf whether bottle baby so he is absolutely stuck up her butt. He is a cutie though. That would be so neat to see mini manchas!

We bought 4 half Dorper, half Katahdin ewes. They were bred to a Katahdin ram and they had 5 lambs, 3 of which are ewes. We are buying a Dorper ram, but have to build a pen for him first.

How cool is it that we are getting BYH members so close together?
