She a beauty! Can't wait to hear more about her. BTW, the barn is looking great! 
Grats on the latest addition! She's a nice looking girl. Can't get over that La mancha stare... no ears 
Kinda reminds me of a praying mantis head 
I love milk, but I only consume about 1/2 gallon a day... Guess I better start planning on making cheese huh?

Last week flew by and this week too has disappeared. 
Some of you may have already seen my new buckling on my other thread... http://www.backyardherds.com/threads/our-newest-buckling-addition.31404/
Love him!
The trip was long and we did it in a day. Drive wasn't bad but we were out in the heat a long time. We all looked at each other when the breeder said lets go back to the dairy kitchen WHERE THE AC IS!
Duh... yes it was hot!. My phone wouldn't even work to get pics it said it was "too hot"
Didn't realize but by Monday night I'd relapsed. My health has been doing ok, then boom...
Meanwhile I have 3 articles to finish, so many e-mails I don't know what to do but answer the quick short ones LOL.
Building is stalled because of the heat.
Neighbor wants us to put one of the pups over his place. We are sending a bunch of goats over there (lets us use his land) but our dogs don't like him. Well he was by the fence and the pups would not go up to him... same mistake he made with the older dogs.
Pups are barking and so I decide to go down and let the dogs know it's ok. Only then would the dogs go up to him. There is one dog in particular he really liked. NOT the dog I would keep, but will be a good fit and I saw how the neighbor had a big grin while he was petting him. So that is good and should be a good fit. The dog I WOULD keep is the only pup that still refused the stranger to pet him, stayed alert and watched closely.
He was the dog really going nuts when the neighbor came up. Neighbor thought the dog was "fearful". LOL I said no, he is barking because he is doing his job... you are a stranger and you are bypassing me, I need to introduce you.
We have baby chicks popping out from every nook around the farm.![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")
Now I love bay chicks but these are all rogue birds... so many mutts and we are not breeding this year.
They are really cute though.
Flies are bad this year. Did put war-paint on 3 of the dogs noses... not sure why but the flies like Pyr noses... the Toli's and the pups... no problems.
Today I wish I was moving into a bigger house with a gourmet kitchen... and was building my dream barn.
We have had a lot of milk so the kitchen is in full swing... fudge fudge, fudge, different kinds of cheeses (fromage blanc, chevre, mozzarella), ICE CREAM!, regular milk... milk for the neighbors pics... will be making cream cheese, ricotta, cottage cheese and would like to try COLBY!
Looking for good containers to freeze cheese in. Winter will come before we know it.
REALLY want an ice machine, a triple sink (Stainless steel) a giant fridge for milk only, a separate kitchen for everything dairy.
YES I am in a daydreaming mode today... it is 100+ degrees outside- heat index 104 with 39% humidity... my brain is being affected.

Following! I LOOOOOVE your barn! and your dogs, and your goats and your ability to make things LOL! Ok, I love the life in general. Maybe some day I will have a nice barn, chickens, goats and a farm. For now, I will make a little homestead and continue on with what I can without all the land needed LOL.

That is what we are doing too! You should see my plans for a real barn!
and the only way that'll happen is if some rich relative I didn't know I even had leaves me a fortune or I win the lottery... which I don't play. Old people can still dream.

Hahaha!!! Same here! No lotto for me and no rich relatives With our 5.76 acres I don't really want to do much because We won't be staying here forever. but it also has to be functional and house what We do have. So We will be building a hay storage and the goats need a shed instead of just a shelter for our winters here. A little at a time is all ya can do sometimes! I totally love your barn from the pics and would love something like that for the goats!
