ThiselDo Farm on Coppock Hill
ThiselDo Farm was created 2015. as the last of our children were leaving home. So, we set out building our goat barn from a carport & free pallets!!
people often question what exactly does "ThiselDo" mean... well as we created our little mini farm, I had grand dreams of rolling hills, green pastures, big red barn, white rail fences... however, our budget did not allow that. our 1st chicken pen was made up from two 10'x10' dog kennels with a used tin roof..as each thing was made, I would dream of the farm I wanted, but would happily say, "Well,
Two of our hens gave us some little nuggets yesterday.
Izzegga hatched out 3.
Hamlatta hatched out 4.
I pray they are all hens!

How do we get baby goats ready for their new homes? We bring them in and start making the transition to bottles. They get CDT vaccines, wormers, hooves trimmed, and a whole lot of lovings.... Ernie has this one really spoiled
Preparing kids for a new home before they are weaned from their mommas require a little extra work. You have to make sure they are going to be social & sweet..they have to be able to take a bottle. Which requires a little work on our part to get them to make that transition. They will be going to their new home on Thursday.
These three sweet babies are enjoying their new mommy. And on there way to Montana!!! So cool that kids from little old ThiselDo Farm are traveling all the way to their new home in Montana!! We hope Melissa Coppock and her family enjoy these babies as much as we have

This is little Shamrock!!! He fell from a tree and had a bloody little nose. The boys tried to put him back but the mother rejected him again. After 12 hours of the mother not coming back. He came home in my husband's shirt pocket. Covered in fleas, he has had a bath. And now has a full belly and is loving life of a rescue!!
