Chivas Farm: Need help naming baby goat “four”
March 12, 2010 Written by LaurenJ
As you may know we had four new “kids” (baby goats) born at the Chivas farm this past weekend. What do you think are good names for this goat strong, stylish and sassy goat below? She is striking like her mother, Nyala, with the same distinctive white spot on her belly. Her black feet make me think of a posh, trendsetter in NYC with black leather knee-high boots. And she’s got yet another unique feature: a white “Star Wars”-esque headband. Julio says that she’s the laziest of the bunch. Pat likes her bright blue eyes and supermodel pose (see how her front feet are crossed).
What do you think? Any good names on the tip of your tongue? If so, please comment below.

Chivas Farm: Need help naming baby goat “three”
March 11, 2010 Written by LaurenJ
As you may know we had four new “kids” (baby goats) born at the Chivas farm this past weekend. What do you think are good names for this quirky, kissable and cuddly baby goat?
He is the son of Angelina, who is a first-time mother. Sometimes the first pregnancy and birthing process can be difficult, but Angelina handled it with balletic grace (we named her after “Angelina Ballerina”). Here is Angelina standing as a proud mother, babying her little boy.
As I said, he’s a bit quirky. He does this impossible-to-explain flippy, jump-kick sorta thing that is just hysterical to watch. I’m not sure if he’s trying to show off or what, but you’ve got to see it in an upcoming video.
He is also quite the romantic. Here he is kissing Bart.
And I just melt looking at him all curled up.

Chivas Farm: Need help naming baby goat “two”
March 10, 2010 Written by LaurenJ
As you may know we had four new “kids” (baby goats) born at the Chivas farm this past weekend. Yesterday, we introduced you to Bart. But he’s the only one we’ve named so far. What do you think are good names for this sweet, shy and subdued baby goat below?
She is the daughter of Sugar Muffin, the matriarch of the herd. Sugar Muffin is very domineering, controlling and a bit of a bully with the other goats. But she is also very protective of them against our dog, “Moose” who can sometime get a little aggressive on the other side of the fencing. This, of course, means that she is ultra protective of her own daughter. I was trying to think of a literary figure who is shy and the child of a domineering parent. Any lit majors out there with good character references?
Here’s another interesting shot, with her as the submissive daughter.
While the other three were off playing in the center stage, she would sit quietly in the corner.

Chivas farm: the new kid on the block
March 9, 2010 Written by LaurenJ
As you may know we had four new “kids” (baby goats) born at the Chivas farm this past weekend. Because these were the first goats born at our new farm in Bardsdale, we decided to name the firstborn boy “Bart.” Like his cartoon counterpart, Bart is rambunctious and lovable at the same time. Here are some pictures of him just a few days after his birth. Can you believe how big he is already?
Here he is getting into trouble by him mom, Susana. He’s not supposed to jump up on the water bucket and feeding bin.
He kept jumping up on my leg (luckily he’s still too small to knock me over), eating my shoestrings and (here) nibbling on my sweatshirt.
…And also tried sneaking out of the stable (we were keeping them inside for the day because it was raining).
Despite his jumping, nibbling and sneaking, he is still quite affectionate and lovable. Here he is kissing my hand …
…and “dancing”…
… and “snuggling”.
My mom and I just think that Bart is the best. We aren’t always able to keep the male goats (as they obviously aren’t milking goats), but he’s a keeper for sure!

New “kids” (baby goats) born at the Chivas farm!
March 8, 2010 Written by LaurenJ
We are so excited to have had 4 new healthy baby goats, called “kids”, born at the Chivas farm this past weekend! They are adorable, friendly & fun 
Below are a few pictures of them all hanging out together.
Plus, each day this week I’ll highlight them individually. The first boy has been named “Bart”, but we’ll need your input in helping to name the other three.
They all get along pretty well. Sometimes they kiss & snuggle. Sometimes they fake fight. Here they are just sorta pushing each other around. It’s cute to watch.
Here they are being a bit shy. While they are very energetic and healthy for being only a few days old, they are of course still a little weak and need to rest often.
Here they are nudging heads. They kept kissing, but I couldn’t seem to catch it on film.
