I have to admit, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks!
In the past 30 days, we’ve had a total of 21 babies born at the farm.
…19 of which were in the last 16 days 😅
For about the last month or so for our Meet the Mommas series, we’ve introduced you to each of our mommas so if you want to catch up on any of those reads you can find them here:
Momma Cookie had 4 doelings on Tuesday March 26th 🤩🤩 and they are so much fun to be around!
Front Left to Right: Frosty (grayish with white), Cupcake (jet black with white on head), Momma Cookie, Little Debbie (all black), & Snowball (black with some white)
We decided to name all of Cookies girls based off sweet treats :)
Little Debbie
Little Debbie is all black, and teeny tiny.
Size comparison for Little Debbie and her biggest sister Frosty.
Since she was born the smallest and has to share mommas milk with 3 other larger sisters, we decided to supplement her mommas milk with some milk that we have been taking from one of our LaManchas (who’s twins are not quite able to keep up with her ferocious milk supply yet!).

So although Little Debbie is not QUITE a true bottle baby, we do get to spend some extra special time with her 3-4 times a day feeding her some milk to help her get big and strong.
She is the sweetest little thing you ever did see! And such a JOY to be around 🥰

Snowball
She’s got a lighter shade of black than Little Debbie with some white on her head and side, and also somewhat of an occasional white overcoat which made us think of the coconut covered “Snowball” treat.
Snowball was the first to officially jump on our backs while we were in the pen squatting down to feed Little Debbie, so she’s a scrappy one and always gets right back up after falling down!
Cupcake
Cupcake is a sweet, super cute and really fun girl!
She is jet black with some white on her head and side and frosted ears. You would think all these babies are varying shades of black, but when you see Cupcake, you’ll really think JET BLACK.
She is a climber and if you’re squatting down in their pen to pet the babies… WATCH OUT! Next thing you know, you’ll have a Cupcake on your back 😂
Frosty
Frosty is the largest of the bunch, and very much the sweetest.
If it were up to her, she’d be perfectly content being held and snuggled all day long.
She’s got the most color variation in her coat; moon spots of varying shades, white roaning on the back of her neck, some white and slightly frosted ears.
This girl is a BEAUT!

Make sure you’re signed up for the Penner Mini Scoop: Baby Watch!
A portion of all animal sales goes directly to the Goat Project at The Hope Venture, and all other profits made go directly back into the farm to cover vet bills, purchasing whole oats & alfalfa for our mommas, updating fencing & shelters, etc.
We would not be able to do what we do without the support of our local community and farm fans everywhere, so we are so very blessed to have your support!

Every day we try to pray over ourselves and the farm.
We ask God to “give us clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and clean food to eat”; for the animals and for ourselves. We humbly invite you to partner with usin prayerfor the farm, as well as for your own families!
