Gretchen Moves to P&CW Farm

Gretchen is a brown-eyed Nigerian Dwarf doe who, from certain angles, looks startlingly like Miss April. She moved here today from the Flynn Family Farm, a well-manicured fifty acres of gorgeous rolling fields and woods. Just over three months old, Miss Gretchen left both parents, oodles of playmates, and some delightful play structures behind to join our caprine crew. Like some of our original dwarf goats, she brings genetics from Moe Moe Acres—a goat farm whose name shows up frequently enough when I’m dwarf shopping that I’ll have to find it myself one of these days.


Sprightly and shy, Gretchen spent the afternoon in our home pasture with Cocoa and Thumbelina. She was ducking horns often enough that I gave her separate space for the night, and put FiFi Mae in with her for company. Gretchen makes a fine addition to our dwarf stock. We’re very happy that she has moved here.
