Springtime on the Shirley Family Farm
Spring is one of our favorite times of the years! We have bounding baby goats and grandchildren and love when the weather is warm enough to spend all day outdoors.

New Goat Pasture- Goats Love Fence Rows
2022 Does and Doelings can really clean-up a fence row fast. We enjoy watching them munch away behind our house. Great work, ladies!
Farm Updates – Barn addition
This year we continue to work to maintain our beautiful family farm. One of this years additions is a Kiko goat profile, designed by our daughter, Emily.
