My Milking Goats starter Herd

Yesterday I adopted five Saanen Goat crossbreeds from a good friend of mine as she was moving into town.  Today I have settled the little beauties into their temporary home in the cattle yard pen until we can build them their own fenced off paddock.

I can't describe what this means to me at this point as they are so precious.  I have a dream of being self sufficient and the one thing I dearly need is milk.  Milk is so important.  From it's products a lot can be made.  Cheese, soap, moisturizer, yoghurt, butter and more.  I will be searching for a suitable Saanen buck so as that the offspring are more Saanen.

Receiving these goats as a gift has shown me that I am on course in my life.  That I am doing what I should be doing and that my path is correct.

I look forward to being able to share with everyone the products that come from breeding and milking these beauties.

Welcome to Misty Hollow.  This is my sanctuary.  It is, at 41 years of age, my written expression of what I am learning and discovery of who I am.  I want you to travel with me as I grow and share who I was meant to be.  Life does begin at 40 for some, and that was true for me.

Since I can remember I dreamed of having my own piece of dirt to call home and grow things in.  Have animals, which I love.  Experience a wonderful partner to love me and that I can love back safely.  A place where my children are safe to roam around and have fun.  Here in Misty Hollow I have all that.  

In Misty Hollow, where I live, I am having the opportunity to attempt to become whole.  Come take the ride with me and see a business grow, land transform, seasons change and emotions are shared.  This will be a raw emotional expression of my experience on the land.  For a girl from the suburbs its a hard slog but pleasurable.
