Critterhaven Farm

Welcome and Howdy...

Welcome to the first blog of Critterhaven Farm.  We are a small hobby farm with one basic message.  We love our goats!!  We've been raising our Nigerian Dwarf goats for about 6 years now.  I experimented with Mini nubians but due to risk of foreclosure sold out just a few weeks ago. 

Unfortunately we are one of those families who bought our home with an ARM three years ago and now are suffering the consequences.  After playing catch up for 2 years our mortgage company demanded the past dues caught up in one payment rather than in payments, sent our payments back..and then started to foreclose on us.  So come Friday after paying four months mortgage and lawyers fees we will be caught up so we can finally refinance and keep the place!!  I sympathize SO with those who are in a similar boat.  Hang in there.  Through God's grace, the love of family and friends, and some good ol' selling on ebay and craigslist and wherever I could find we are able to pull ourselves out of this.  Now I'm in a selling mood and can't stop!

After all is said and done we want to fence in the front field so we can rotate the goats and llamas off the back field for 6 months or so.  We also have a small barn we relocated here to put up and hopefully we can do that too.

Then I want to get the chicken pens for the silkies up and the pigeons divided out into breeding pairs.  Only then will I start to feel organized around here!

So this blog will be updated as we progress.  First off will be a pen for the newly weaned baby goats to get them away from mom's and off the back field.  We are also building a buck pen just for our herd sire Zorro to get him away from the other boys and on his own breeding/living quarters pen.

Stay tuned...it can only go up from here!
