NEW ADDITIONS

Isabella is a Red Merle Australian Shepherd. She was born in the middle October. I've been working with her....trying to teach her obedience. She's really sweet and playful. Right now she's not too comfortable with the barn animals. She'll get used to it. Eventually I hope for her to be able to herd the animals by voice commands. My father-in-law Aaron has 2 other A.S. dogs. I'm amazed at their natural ability to herd animals and follow voice commands. These are good dogs.

On my way to the barn today I heard the familiar cry......a newborn baby goat. I found two. Believe it or not, goats are really sweet when they are babies. They are soft and cuddly. Both are nannies (females). The red head and white bodies are indicative of Boer goats.
