March 14.  Ashley comes to Alymar Farm
She was born Feb. 9, 2009 at the farm of Aliza Vanderlip in Ashland, OR. Her Mother and
twin bucklings were on their way to Good Goats in OK. She was only 6 weeks old and we
had to teach her to take milk from a bottle. When she finally got the hang of it, we named her
AttaGirl Ashley!
Since She & Royal didn't have any "family", the two bonded to keep each other company.
