Welcome! I was so happy to find out I was going to be featured on SITS. Thank you SITS and thank you for visiting my blog today! If you don't know what SITS is, well it is a group of women bloggers supporting one another by leaving comments! If you are not visiting from SITS or haven't heard of them, well you really need to check them out! I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Jennifer and my husband and I live on a hay and goat farm in Kansas. We love country life and our farm but some people ask me why goats?! Well...goats produce nutritious milk which can be used to make delicious cheese and wonderful soap. They have big personalities but are smaller than cattle so they are much easier to handle and work. I would have to say probably the biggest reason though is the Goat Therapy! You can read all about Goat Therapy Here!
When Heather suggested I post links to my favorite posts for you all. Right away I knew which one I wanted to post, much to my husbands chagrin no doubt. See like any man's man he does put on a tough exterior sometimes. There have been times he has even grumbled about the goats and their antics because they always seem to get into trouble; but this short video of him and his friend Peeps the lap goat proves he really is a big ol softie inside.
Goats and hay are not the only things we grow here on Shiloh Prairie Farm. I also make goats milk soap. If you ever wondered how to make wonderful homemade soap yourself, well now is your chance to find out how by visiting this post!
Besides the goats, hay and soap, we also plant a large garden each year and sell vegetables at the farmers market. We often have zucchini, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers and even the occasional weird mutant butt fruit at our farmers market table. If you would like to read more you can browse the label links on the side bar of my blog too spend some time with us on the farm or just get to know some of the friendly and funny farm animals that call this place home.
Thank you everyone from SITS for visiting my blog today! Happy Holidays!

Happy SITS Day!
I must admit I've never been the biggest fan of goats (too many hours spent chasing the neighboring farms goats back to the right side of the fence) but I'm digging all the photos of yours! The lap goat is killing me *L* Maybe I need to rethink my goat tolerance level ;)
Congrats on your FB day! Great post and keep up the goat, I mean good work! ;p
Dropping by from SITS! :)

Happy Sits day! And I have to say if I lived on 80 acres I definitely buy me some goats. Super cute!
Happy SITS day! It's so interesting to see how others live, especially someone who lives on a goat farm. We are very sheltered here in Orange County, CA!

I am so glad I joined SITS and found your blog! My husband and I have the desire to one day own a farm with our own garden, chickens, and a few goats! Farewell My Subaru by Doug Fine first turned me on to Goats and their personalities. It's a great book and his 2 goats cracked me up from beginning to end! I can't wait to read about your Goats and your life! Happy Holidays!

Happy SITS day! I love your lap goat post! Too funny!
Hi Jennifer. Happy SITS day. My daughter has always wanted goats so I'm gonna send her a link to your blog. This looks like a fun and interesting place. I used to be a farm girl but now I'm a city girl! And I wish I could switch that back sometimes! Happy Monday, too!
Well, I think the butt fruit is funny! I'd eat some! Happy SITS day.
I am so envious of your life, it seems great! And those goats are beyond adorable.
Hi! My parents raise Nubian goats and my dad has become quite the prolific cheese maker. I think he would be interested in your post about making soap. My sister LOVES to plant veggies (she's vegan) so I am sure she'd love to read your blog as well. I think the pictures you've posted are adorable and I totally agree with your post about SPAM on blogs and e-mail (oh and junk mail too). I'll be forwarding your blog address on to my family! Congrats on being the featured blogger today. By the way, have you ever read the Nanny Goats in Panties blog? It's pretty funny!

Hi, neighbor!!! I'm in Overland Park! HAPPY SITS DAY!!!!
Of all the traditional farm animals, goats are my favorite. They have such great personalities. Great blog! Happy SITS day!
I grew up on a farm and we raised sheep, so this brings back many memories! Enjoy your SITS day!
Happy SITS day! Off to check out your blog.
Congrats on your SITS day. My question is: Do you name the goats? I know I would! They are so cute.
Congrats on your SITS day!! My moms goats would eat her garden but they were sooo sweet - like dogs following you around. I got the biggest kick out of them and especially their babies. Great photos!!
Congratulations on your SITS day! I can't wait to check out your favorite posts.
Congrats on your special day!!!
Your picture in the post before this one is adorable!!
Congrats on your SITS day-enjoy!! Happy Holidays!!

Happy SITS day!
Congrats on be FB for SITS girl! I lived out in the country in KS growing up:) We had goat milk everyday:) Love it. BUT did not know about goat soap! Learn something new everyday:)
Happy SITs Day! I look forward to reading more.
I love goats. I grew up on a ranch in Santa Barbara that had them. Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS day to you! Many Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Happy SITS day! I still can't get over it - a goat farm! That's awesome! Happy Holidays!
Happy SITS Day Jennifer! I hope your day is wonderful:) I can't wait to read more!
We had goats but we couldnt keep them contained.
Happy SITS Day
Loving your blog, those goats are adorable, so cute and photogenic !
Happy SITS Day! You know... I think I have some of your soap in my shower. I can't seem to find your store so I can't be certain. But I have a citrus goat's milk soap that I adore and it came through blog connections... and it's a fabulous soap!
I wish I lived closer so I could buy your products at the farmer's market! Happy SITS day!
Your goats look so sweet! (My parents had goats when I was growing up and you are right about them having big personalities- we had a female without horns who would headbutt a male who did have horns!) My mom's grandparents had goats when she was little and she used to sneak baby goats into the house...guess that started her love of the little critters!
I think goats are so cute and adorable! Happy SITS day!!
Hey girl, just stopped by from SITS! What a unique story you've got...I love it!

Congratulations on being featured on SITS. How interesting that you have a Goat Farm. I was just watching a show last night about making Goats Cheese, it made me sooo hungry.
The pictures of the kids are adorable. :)
I ENJOYED YOUR "PEEPS SHOW"! VERY FUN AND BUSY FARM LIFE FOR YOU--I LOVE SEEING HOW DIFFERENT EVERYONE'S LIFE IS IN BLOG LAND! CONGRATS ON YOUR SITS DAY!
I just finished the book 'Goat Song.' Have you read it? It was a WONDERFUL read. But now that I think about it, why would you read it when you're LIVING it?!
Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS day!
I think living on a farm would be kind of cool. I'm strictly a suburb girl, but I've always wanted to have a bit of land and some breathing room!
Who knew there were so many goat products. Well, I guess you knew but I didn't. I thought for a minute you were making spam out of goats but then read a little more. Wow, was I relieved.
Happy SITS Day! I love goats. We had a Nubian named Sir Spots a Lot when I was a kid. My sister and I could ride him and he used to eat all of my mother's roses. Once he got inside the house and pooped all over. We loved him! :D
I stopped by and visited the video of your Hubs with the lap goat. Too funny. And very cute.
Stopping by from SITS.
This is why SITS is great... one day you get to discover a blog about a goat farm!! My daughter is loving the goat picture.
Happy SITS day! Very unique blog I must say. Your goats are so cute!
Happy SITS Day to you. Wow goats. My Dad use to have a goat when he was growing up. Have a great holidays and enjoy your day.
Happy SITS day! I have never thought about all the wonderful things you can get from goats, but there is this one Mexican that is made from goats milk and I wish I could remember the name, but it is my favorite thing in the world. Yummy!
Happy SITS Day and Happy Holidays!
ooo can't wait to read the soap post...your goats are adorable! :)
Happy SITS day! :)
Congratulations on your SITS day!
Happy SITS day Jennifer. Loved reading your little bio...and of course you got me intrigued about Peeps so watched your video...too cute!
I love goats. They are so goaty! :-) Enjoy your day.
Mary
Happy SITS day to you.
Kinda cool to see SITS pick a blog that's a little different, although I can't say I love goats.
The term stubborn as a goat isn't arbitrary. I went to a farm as a kid. Those things are kinda bitchy! LOL
Best to you,
-Victoria
Happy SITS Day! That mutant butt tomato cracked me up! Love it!
I love goats! Thank you for posting such and amazing blog. This past year my family moved out of the city to a new home with 6 acres. We are planning to get 3 or 4 goats and some chickens this spring! Can not wait to start making soap and cheese.
Happy SITS day!
My son wants goats as soon as we find our ranch out here in CA.
My son has done so much research. I have been so proud of all he has done.
I can't wait to read more of your blog and become a follower.
Oh, how wonderful for you. It's so nice to see goats getting their day in the SITS sun!
Enjoy it!
Happy SITS Day!! And Congrats to you! Love your blog...very funny, heart-warming and love those darn goats!! Hope to stay in touch with you!
Happy SITSday!!! So much fun visiting and learning new things! :)
Have a blessed holiday week!
Happy SITS Day ~
i'm sure going to visit this blog often so I can take few tips for our naughty goats hehehe
Happy SITS day and Merry Christmas!
Happy SITS day!
I love Peeps...she reminds me of Mimi my Chihuahua.
Can't wait to read more! :)
Happy SITS Day, your blog is wonderful.
Yay!! Happy SITS day... =) I can only imagine waking up to goats every morning. Wow Wow Wow is all I can say. You would never see that over here in NYC. By the looks of the photo of the week I can tell each goat has it's own unique personality. =) My daughter can't stop pointing at the picture... Happy Holidays!
Congratulations on your day. I'm giggling at the goats. I have memories of going to a farm as child and having the goats eat my lunch. I'm off to check out your other posts.
Congrats on being featured. The goats are the cutest and I love, love, love goat milk soap.
Happy SITS day, I'm right there with you on the idea of emailing the spammers "up the goat nose" photos! LOL : )
Fondly,
pink and green mama

Very glad to see that your blog and goats have been discovered by these ladies. I miss my goats and love reading about your happy herd.
Nice to meet you. I'm visiting from SITS.
I used to drink goats milk when I was a child. It is good for you and I knew it could make soaps and cheese but we didn't do that.
I'd love to try the soaps and cheese etc.
I love farms. Hard work yes but I love it. I wished my kids got to enjoy this growing up. I got to get a bit of farm living and glad I have that memory.
Happy holidays!
First let me say, Happy SITSday! Second let me say, I am SO checking out your blog!! I can't have goats here, but I can drool over yours:)
Happy SITS day to you!! I'm going to have to come back to check out your posts. Hope you have a fun day and be prepared for lots of comment love!!
Congrats on being SITS featured blogger. Can't wait to "meet" your lap goat. LOL!
Woo hoo! Love me some goats. Happy SITS!

Happy Sits day! What a great blog!
My brother and SIL have a farm and I just love listening to all the funny stories about their animals...they had a duck that thought he was a chicken and oh my he was funny. I think my SIL should write a children's book.
Anyway...I will certainly be back to read often. :)
OMG, your goats are so adorable. Great pictures!
Many of my customers are saying they use goat milk with the protein shake. One woman makes goat pudding?? I'll have to try that out.
I have to admit that I've never actually WONDERED how to make goat's milk soap... but I'm sure it's interesting! Happy SITS Day!
Very unique and cool blog! Congrats on your SITS Day!

Happy SITS day, enjoy!!

It all looks like a lovely place to live, and you've created such a nice life there! I look forward to reading more!
