After three years I think we can say with certainty that a family tradition we have is visiting the Deanna Rose Farmstead between the Sunday sessions of conference. It's fun to see the
big goats and the new baby animals. Here a few highlights.
JoLee was instantly popular when she entered the baby goat pen with a bottle in hand.
The goats were all over both of us, and when we returned home Zephyr sniffed us from our hands to our feet. She has never met a goat, but I bet she would like to.
This turkey was new to the farm this year. Wow, what a big, ugly creature. It kept sneezing and shivering at us to scare us away. I guess if you were the national dinner of choice, you would be a little skiddish as well.
I can't believe this was my idea.
The new milk barn housed several new baby cows, all of which were wonderful to pet and watch. The milk barn has a few stations where you can learn about cows and practice your milking skills.

Having a bottle with milk to feed the baby goats is so much cooler than pellets!
It also takes sooo much longer to feed the goats with a bottle. We started to wonder if they were getting any milk at all.
Great pictures! Can I just mention that when Livi tried to do the milk thing, it completely backfired and she was momentarily scarred...the goats freaked her out! It was pretty funny and we were all laughing at her, which is probably the reason she is now scarred for life! ;)
Oh, Nate, you are soooooo strong and gentle! (Freak, dude... us guys have enough going against us as it is - why did you have to go and put your head through THAT sign?)
