Goats. What an enjoyable, comical animal! Our first Boer goats came from Liz at Lazy Daze, Ellsworth; Chris at Floppy Ears; and Melanie at Badger Boers, both from the Reedsville area. We have purchased from many other breeders across the states throughout the years, and found that anyone who has ever had goats, truly share a love for their antics and personalities. Each is truly unique, and once you've held a newborn kid in your arms, you're hooked.
In Need of Loving Homes:
The other is Tommy, a Haflinger cross Quarter horse, more on the heavier side, about 15 hands, 8 1/2 years old, chestnut in color, has had some ground work, never trailered, and is very much attached to Pilgrim. They both stand well for the farrier and vet, both have great dispositions and do learn fast. I have had both horses since they were babies, 4 months and 5 months old. I did have a trainer come for several summers to train with me and teach me, it was awesome!! I cannot ride any longer after the car accident. My biggest concern is having them tossed around from home to home or abused. PLEASE contact us if you are interested and have room in your barn and heart to provide these geldings the nurturing, loving home(s) they deserve.

Swallow Acres came to be back in 1993, when I purchased a small farmette just outside of Boaz, Wisconsin, in the southwestern corner of the state. Named for all the barn swallows that also called the acreage home, Jim and I soon had a few calves to raise... then chickens...and mallards... then came the pigs. Let's see, there was Sugar, Danielle's black bunny, a small flock of canada geese... and since a game farm license was needed for those, we added teals, pintails, wood ducks, tuxedo quail. Somewhere along the line 2 pair of peacocks came to the farm, and the turkeys, Billy the black wethered nubian, Nanny the pygmy goat... and our first horse, Magic, a beautiful bay gelding that we took in trade for 2 jersey steers. Heidi was my house cat, and Ginny a fuzzball Chow Chow.
April 23rd of 2006 was a typical Sunday morning here on the farm. Right up until about 7 am when Jim went out to take care of the critters in the pole shed. That's where the expectant and new moms are. Next thing I knew, Jim was yelling, "We got 3! Cinnamon has 3 babies!" So, I throw on my shoes, head to the shed, and out pops Jim's head, "I think she's 
gonna have another one!" I no more than got down there, and sure enough, out comes a little boy, butt first, and right on his nose was another little girl. CSK Cinnamon, our 75% doe had just given us QUINTUPLETS! 4 does and 1 buck. Boy, PGO Soldier Boy did a thorough job! All 5 are doing great with the help of another nanny, who's nursing 2 of them, along with her single buckling. 7# doe, 5.25# doe, 5# doe, 5# buck and 4.75# doe.
