Meet Cupcake

Introducing... CUPCAKE!
Cupcake is our newest addition, joining our farm on May 29th 2011.
She's a 5 week old mini pig... who is currently living inside (yes, she's litter trained!).
We do hope you'll be able to attend an up coming Family Day, so you'll get to meet her in person.

*(Written by SonRidge Farm)*
Congratulations Cassie, on winning third place in the goat show this afternoon!
I know you studied really hard on the goat parts, and practiced showing your goat - you sure did a wonderful job with Lilly!
We really enjoyed having you with us at Farm Camp this week, you seem like a natural farm girl - and I sure hope you had fun!
I know your baby goat (Jasmine) would love to see you again, so I really hope you will be able to attend a family day this summer!

Family Day Dates:
- May 21st 2011 (5-7 pm)

4th Day

Today we fed our baby goat and we also rode in the pasture. I actually ran up the hill on Patches! Then we scooped poop. Then we had a break and I practiced with Lilly. We also got to fill bottles. We just ate lunch.

3rd Day

Last night the baby that Grace Carter is holding was born. We did horse back riding and fed our baby goat. Then everyone went over to a garden to talk about what bees do. We ''tried'' goat showing. My goat Lilly is not very good at that. We're going to work on it. We looked at an observation hive. We're about to go milk and we started to make cheese.

New Addition

Farm Campers...
Tumnus (the Angora Goat that we sheared during Farm Camp this afternoon) kidded at 6.30pm tonight, and had 1 lovely doe (female/girl). *Pictures below are of her*

Though we are sad you weren't able to be here for the kidding, we would love some help with... NAMING.

As most of you know, I do a theme each year for our dairy goat kids (2011 is the "fruit year"). But with our Angora Goats, I'll stick to just "random" names. Any ideas? Make sure to let me know! (She is soft - cute - & cuddly - maybe a name pertaining to that?)

See you tomorrow, who knows - maybe one of the names you came up with... will be chosen!

P.S. Don't forget to practice the "Dairy Goat Parts" Game - it was posted on your blog last night.

2nd Day

Today we rode horses. I rode Patches and rode Bella while she followed Allie around. We watched Allie shear one of the Angora Goats. I had to hurriedly feed Jasmine because we got here about 9:30. Now we are going to make Lip Balm. It's raining now so I'm glad that we're blogging.
