Short in stature

Pure in heart.

We knew we loved you

From the start.

 

You touched our lives

Each and every day

You filled our thoughts

In so many ways.

 

Although you have left us

You will always be near

For you pygmy friend

Were special and dear.

 

A rare find you were

The richest of treasure

And for the joy that you brought us

We'll love you forever.

                                -Keira Engelke

 

 

These are some special friends that were taken from us.  May they find the rainbow bridge---the special crossing for loved animals where the grass is always green and the days always sunny.  Those that have never loved a goat won't understand, for those that have....I need say no more!

Ari was a special girl and is greatly missed. We never got anything from her but she made an impact on the style that we chose to focus on in our herd. Love ya Ari girl!

 

 

 

1997-2002

RSRCH Fir Meadow Krystal

Meadow was Sue's girl and her favorite doe.  She was a quiet doe that always had to inspect new arrivals in the kidding stall and was a great mother---she cherished her kids. We have a daughter and 3 granddaughters to carry this doe on in our lines. 

 

 

Raz Zoo's Snicker Doodle

1999-2003

Never a show animal, "Cookie" was ours briefly as a kid. We then sold her to a friend and she kidded with twin does. Cookie was sold to a third party and soon returned home to us. She was a great mom and a very sweet natured doe. 

 

Bizzy Acres Miracle

1995-2003

This dark caramel doe had quite a few kids in her lifetime including our former doe PGCH Bizzy Acres Miracle's Calley.  The fall of 2002 brought us twin does from this gal.  Miracle made quite the impact on our herd.

 

 

2004

SuKe's Locust Sammi

Sammi was born with her head turned back but alive. She lived for just one week.  She was a fighter all the way.She was a sweet girl who died in her sleep one day after she lost the fight for life. 

 

SuKe's Locust Kids Ramona

June 2004-October 2004

In 2005 we experienced a tremendous amount of grief in several pet's passing. We hope that we do not have to lose this many again for quite some time.

KC (Keira's Cat) was born May 1993. She was hit by a car Jan 2005.  She was a great mouser who died happy with a mole in her mouth.  

 

This was my first parrot Sasha---I had her for just over 1 month when I found out she had not been fed right as a youngster and had to be put down! I was devastated!  She was a remarkable bird and enriched my life very much. I will not forget her.

Sassy Sasha 

Got her Dec 2004-Passed away January 2005

 

RSRCH Legacy Farms GENEVA & KIDS

Geneva was one of our favorites.  Sweet as sugar and a joy to own---she fostered (shared really) twin kids in 2004. She and her twins are together over the rainbow bridge.  We are glad we have her twin girls Sicely and Abeni.

Passed away Spring 2005

Elysa died in a freak accidental hanging in October 2006.  She will be missed.

 

Passed away following a stroke April 24, 2007  She was a wonderful first llama for us and we will miss her greatly!

 

This tiny girl lived for just 6 days before passing on. She was quite the little love.

Born and died Spring 2008

 

 

In August 2008 we had 2 pitt bulls break into our show doe pen at 11 PM. Sue heard the noise and ran out stopping what could have been a total loss from occurring. At the end of the horrific events our lovely doe, Buffalo Gil's Hope who had just won her first GCH win a couple of weeks prior had to be put down, she was simply too injured to survive.

Our little joy Taylor had 12 punctures to her neck and shoulder. She survived bloat and partial paralysis to make a complete recovery. Fir Meadow Xaviera also had 3 small punctures and had no ill-effects.

 

Hope was sweet and special. She will be missed.

 

Kody-She was born October 15,1995

She died October 19, 2008. She was a wonderful companion and very special to our whole family!

 

MAXWELL was a rescue from his previous home where they taught their horses to rope by chasing him. One day he simply got too old to run away anymore and was on his way to auction. Instead he came to live at our house. We had him for 5 years. He had hoof problems from onset of our ownership and finally his legs and hooves were just too bad and so we put him down on a nice day, after he got to enjoy the sun a bit.  

We are unsure of his age but figure he was at least 18 years old. 

Died November 16, 2008

We have been lucky that not many of our goats have died here at the farm.  We  hope to avoid updating this page for a long time!
