I went into my barn yesterday around noon, and found this! [New Hershey](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYmCzFuBlQ0) I knew my goats were preggers, but I didn’t expect any so soon. I named her Hershey. Here she is a few hours later. [Hershey Playing](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZg_eVGfcLE) ---

All my animals are socialized, I hate it when people are afraid of critters. Lots of people seem to have bad memories of turkeys and chickens, and I do understand that. Kids love coming out here to see the animals, yesterday 3 neighbours brought their kids over to check out the newest, and these guys are all cattle farmers! LOL! I am glad you guys enjoy my videos, I make them so my friends and family can see what I’ve been up to. And of course I will be posting more as other babies come! ---
