March kidding Madness is almost over at Fat Toad Farm – we have one final hold out, Lola, evidently the biggest prude in the bunch – who is taking us into April Madness and proving true that famous old adage “The watched goat never kids” – but otherwise we are out of the birthing woods and we are ready to announce this year’s sweet 16 lineup of “keepers” – the daughters of our finest milkers who will become permanent members of the Fat Toad Farm Milking (and Goat’s Milk Caramel) Team.

And here they are!

1. Atlas (daughter of Cloud)
2. Pansy (daughter of Petunia)
3. Beatrix (daughter of Flopsy)
4. Nilla (daughter of Chester)
5. Slayer (daughter of Dragon)
6. Posh (daughter of Vicky)
7. Paris (daughter of Maddy)
8. Elm (daughter of Ash)
9. Yodel (daughter of Swiss)
10. Tiffany (daughter of Amber)
11. Flurry (daughter of Snow)
12. Tillie (daughter of Flossy)
13. Noodle (daughter of Noni)
14. Truvy (daughter of Shelby)

GO TEAM, GO!
