Does

Many years ago, before establishing our ranch, I never would have imagined I would be milking a goat! But here I am milking several goats a day to provide all the dairy goods our ranch needs. Crooked Pine Ranch is never without plenty of milk, cheese, butter and all the other wonderful dairy goods made from our rich, creamy goat's milk. To see a few goat milk recipes, click here.

Below are some of our dairy goats and a little story about each of them.

In Loving Memory

Heidi is a large Saanen doe and that came to us bred to a Saanen buck. Heidi had a kind and sweet disposition. We allowed Heidi to nurse her two bucklings, that were born on 02/22/05, for as long as she was able. We kept the smallest buckling in honor of her memory. Heidi passed away 04/22/05 from a tumor that caused a shutdown of her rumen.

Daisy May was purchased the same time as Lily and was so tiny she rode home in my lap (which she promptly peed on me). Daisy was a Nigerian Dwarf and is pictured above with her 2003 doeling, Shasta, from her first freshening. Daisy passed away 5 days after delivering her 2005 triplets. She retained a fourth kids that the vet didn't detect during an exam after kidding.

We lost our beloved little Snowbird in May of 2006. We opened up a new field for the goats to browse in and Snowbird took a liking to a poisonous plant (Elderberry bush). Dispite the extensive medical treatments from our vet, we still lost this sweet little Pygmy doe. Snowbird freshened out with twin doelings 6 weeks before her death. Snow was one of our first goats and she came along with her mother, Mikey. Mikey seems to miss her as much as we do.
