NEW LIFE ON THE FARM
Welcome to Walnetto Farm in the most southern tip of the Cascade Mountain range. Just a stone's toss from Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park and all the treasures these mountains hold. We raise LaMancha dairy goats,laying hens and garden. A homestead realized on "42 Acres of Paradise" off the grid.

About Me
- Name: Goatldi
- Location: Central California Sierra Nevada Mountain Range
I am a native Californian old enough to remember when the Golden State lived up to her name. I live on 3.6 acres with a Border Collie/ Aussie cross Cali, three Great Pyrenees Yarrow the "queen mother" Stormy and Bug full litter brothers who live with my LaMancha dairy goats and keep them from harms way. Toss in a few chickens, a yearly garden well you get the picture. I have two adult children and 4 incredible grand girls. I am also a spinner, weaver, knitter and occasional quilter.

Your Jersey photos are so appealing. Almost makes me want a cow! Almost, but not really. I could never give up my goats. ;)
I agree Leigh. As much as I adore Jersey's and have raised many a Jersey drop calf on my "extra" goats milk and with as much as I love cream goats rule.
I just thank God I have a generous neighbor who provides me with all the cream and whole raw milk I could want. Her Jersey milk cows are the bomb and I am grateful.
We've actually been bantering around (are we really serious?!) the pros and cons of keeping a cow (could any cow be more beautiful than a Jersey?), but so far have remained in command of our sensible brain cells because, well, we ARE trying to simplify our lives, right?

I do get it though downsizing or not. How about a mini-Jersey? There is a gal in Idaho who does are fabulous job with her herd.
On the other hand unless one has a back up band think 310 day lactation's , calving yearly. But then there is the cream and the milk and butter and whipped cream. I am no help am I?
Oooh, I was going to say a mini Jersey! That is right up my alley and on my retirement list.
