Over the last few months we have had the great pleasure of corresponding with Sergeant Major Robert Haemmerle and his wife Mindy – two of our most supportive fans who aspire to having a few goats of their own some day. Robert is currently serving our country in Afghanistan and has shared with us some wonderful stories and photos of Afghanis and their goats, which, as is often the case in developing countries, share a roof with their owners. We have been spending so much time in our barn lately monitoring births it feels like we share a roof with our animals, but we draw the line at our front door.
In honor of Fat Toad Farm’s biggest fans and their selfless service to this big old land of purple mountains and amber waves – we proudly present:
One of the newest additions to our herd: Mindy
Our new new Boer Buck: Major
Welcome Mindy and Major!
And thank you Mindy and Robert for all if your incredible support!
Words cannot express the feeling of pride that we have, knowing we have these beautiful namesakes. Bob had actually just told me about the baby naming contest, so I had been trying to brainstorm ideas — so imagine our surprise! Mindy (goat), and Major (goat) will always have a place in our hearts and we look forward to hearing of their adventures. I can’t wait to share the news with our friends and families!
Warm Regards,
Mindy & Sargeant Major Bob
It is our absolute pleasure! We can’t wait for you two to come meet Mindy and Major (who just escaped from his pen AGAIN – he’s very crafty)!
