Happy Holidays
Wishing all our friends a wonderful holiday with their families!
Mud Creek's Fred Busy with the Ladies
Freddie has been with us since mid-August. He is such a good looking fellow! Hopefully, he has taken care of 'business' with the girls. We are letting him run with all the does (except for our spring doelings). So hopefully, Katie, Izzy, Cinnamon, Roma, and Nellie are bred. Kidding could begin as early as mid-January with Nellie. Stay tuned!

Welcome
We live on 10 acres in South Bend, Indiana. We were both raised in the country and were happy to get back to the quiet of a rural area. We moved here in 2002 and have been steadily ‘filling up’ our homestead. We have an orchard with 60+ trees on the front of our property and almost every type of berry you can think of in the back. In between, are the house and the Green Barn which is home to our goats, chickens and rabbits. Our girls are very active in 4-H and enjoy caring for and showing the animals that we raise.

A friend dropped off 3 Cotton Tail bunnies to me on April 29th after finding them huddled on a sidewalk in the corner of an office complex. We have to feed them with a medicine syringe.
