Farm day at Swede Goat Farm

We were so excited to get an invitation earlier this month to go visit Swede Goat Farm in Waller, TX. The Carlson's were nice enough to open up their home and farm to any of their clients that were interested to see where their goats milk comes from. Needless to say, we were totally in and packed up the car and headed 2 hours towards Houston.

 

This is farmer Tim and his main goat area. You can feel the love! 

Mike and Tim talk goats! 

This is me with Margaret Houston the goat. All of Tim's goats that come from Texas have Texas names.  Isn't she Lovely?? 

She was very cuddly towards Mike. Goat Love!

We later got the chance to learn how to milk the goats. We both felt like we had a natural touch to it. ;) 

Here is the REAL milkers who know what they are doing! 

This is Grace and she is milking Ima Hogg the goat.

This is Baba - no doubt cause she looks like a baby lamb. She was the smallest of the farm dogs but she was the one chasing cars and patrolling all around. 

They had many different kinds of animals on the farm besides the goats. They had alpacas, hogs, cats, turkeys and dogs. I was intrigued by the chickens and spent entirely too much time trying to get a good photo of them.  This was as good as it got.

We had such a great day - not only did we get to see how everything worked, we got to spend the day with fuzzy animals! Nothing ever beats that!
