Gidget

Gidget is our star milk girl! She wowed us all in our first kidding season with quintuplets, a 1 in 10,000 occurrence. This season, she is the only gal we are breeding in the hopes for another spring full of fresh milk and adorable babies. She is a stellar milker on our homemade milk stand, and the most attentive mama. As of the spring of 2026, Gidget is retired from the dairy life!

Likes: Snacking on the milk stand, digging holes, and napping in the sun

Dislikes: Dogs

Schnitzel

Schnitzel is one of the five sweet babies born to Gidget in March of 2025. Even though she was the second smallest of the five, we knew she was tough and strong from the beginning, and she continues to prove us right every day. The first time we saw her, I told my husband, “She looks just like a wiener dog!”. Her slightly bowed legs, wide and low stance, wagging tail, and cocked head made it uncanny. So, Schnitzel was her name! 

Schnitzel is currently too young to introduce to the milking stand, but in the fall of 2026, we will likely have her and her sister Gizmo start as our next generation of milkers. 

Likes: Eating everything, getting her head stuck in the fence, and hopping on logs

Dislikes: Being left out of our group walks in the pasture

Gizmo

The smallest of the five babies, Gizmo was an easy name choice. About as tall as a glass coke bottle, she stole our hearts immediately. Gizmo was one of three of Gidget’s babes we bottle fed from day one, as five babies for one mama, even an experienced one like Gidget, is too many to properly care for. 

Gizmo will likely become part of the next generation of milkers on our farm, along with Schnitzel, in the fall of 2026. 

Likes: Chewing on rubber boots and clothing, untying your shoe laces when you aren’t looking

Dislikes: Not being the center of attention
