Meet Ms. Diva. I will be going to meet her in person this week and if she and I like each other she will be coming to the homestead to live next week. I would bring her home this week but until my sprain heals I cannot milk her. I am so excited to finally get a milking goat and one that is so pretty and sweet natured to boot. Her owner has a goat farm about 3 hours from here and when she decides to keep one of the newborn she sells off one of her seniors. Diva is a senior but not old and is a great milk goat. So now we will have fresh goatsmilk and I will be making my soaps with fresh goatsmilk and will be learning how to make goat cheese.... Life on the homestead is getting to be the best!
This blog is a journal of the simple living on a small 2 and a half acre farm. The ups and downs. The good and the not so good. Adventures of Hidden Haven animals and some of my own. The sharing of our frugal, hardworking, attempt to be as self sufficient as possible. Please stop by often as we love company!

You have a goat called Ms Diva? How did you come up with the name?
Ms. Diva is her registered name given her at birth. I didn't have a thing to do with it but I like it! LOL
How wonderful!! One day, I want to get a farm with sheep so I can sheer them and make yarn and blankets. My life-long dream. Good for you!!
What a beauty she is!! Hope it works out.
I'm envious Peggy! I've wanted a milking goat for ages but at this point I think Keith would "do me in" if he had another animal to take care of. (And with two little ones I can't be outside as much as I would like...Drew gets ear infections at the drop of a hat!) So, you'll just have to tell us all about your Miss Diva and I'll sit and drool! Blessings, Sher
I love goats!!!!!! I had one when we lived in our other home. She was an angora and her name was Rosie.Lucky you Peggy. making that soap sounds so much fun. I wannna come and help :(
What a sweet little goat~we had some neighbors down the street that owned several,I think they are so sweet. Lucky you to be able to make your own soap~and I love goat cheese!
Wow, how nice for you. We have a small goat farm near us. Goat fudge is yummy I remember. And goat soap is the nicest thing! Hope your sprain is soon better.
