Goats Galore

Codman Farm recently had 10 kids/baby goats over the past week. Two of the goats had triplets, and two of the goat had twins. They are very small and very cute. They weigh about a 1 ½ pounds, and are the size of a full grown Chiwawa. I got to name one of the male kids so I named it Homer. He’s black, brown and white and he has a white stripe running down his back. He’s a triplet and he was born most recently. One of Homer’s sisters was born with a defect; her hind left leg is angled the wrong way. However, with proper help, she might make it.

  2. You've learned about some very important aspects of life at the farm: birth, death, slaughter, breeding, castration and what it takes to produce the food that we eat without a thought about this effort! Many thanks for sharing this journey with us, #1 grandon.
    Much love & xoxoxo, bubby
