New Additions to Our Homestead

    It has been a busy past week or two at our homestead.  We have added to our farm by leaps and bounds and are so happy with the additions and improvements.

    Our first two new additions are American Mammoth Donkeys.  We got "Minnie" and her foal "Jasper".  They came from Greenwood, AR and had a 2 hour trip to arrive at our place.

    We have a Boer nanny goat named "Bo" who we plan on mating with our Pygmy Goat "Patches".
