August 2025: First Kids Born
Seven months after buying our original herd of 5 goats, three of the four females gave birth — one kid each. The herd grew from 5 to 8.
January 2026: New Addition
On 22 January 2026, we added a new goat to the herd — bringing the total to 9 adult goats.
February 2026: Tagging
On 11 February 2026, we tagged all the goats for identification and record-keeping. Proper livestock management starts with knowing which animal is which — tracking health, breeding history, and productivity.
19 February 2026: Another Kid
One more female gave birth on 19 February 2026, bringing the herd to 9 goats and 1 kid — 10 animals total.
Why This Matters
More goats mean more manure for the fields. The herd growing naturally — with only one additional purchase — is exactly the kind of self-sustaining cycle we want.
