The Maggidans 12 Month Gestation Calendar for 2012 is now available!

Here are 12 months of adorable pygmies and some of their goatie friends in a handy gestation calendar!  Printed on card stock paper, this calendar not only gives the due dates for your does but also features lunar phases and secular and religious holidays.  Due dates are based on a 145 day gestation period. To use a gestation calendar you go to the date the doe is bred and note the date in the lower left corner, this is the date she is due.  So how handy is that?

Our 12 month calendar comes out in late fall, so grab your camera and submit your pictures!  We welcome pictures of all kinds of goats, not just pygmies.  Email them to us in large JPG or GIF format at maggidans@msn.com along with your name and farm name. We like to give credit to our photographers.

Winters Moon is a small family company owned by our longtime friend Gloria Winters and her husband Jim in Sophia, NC.   They specialize in natural goats milk skin care products for both the goatkeepers and their critters.  I have used her products for years and will bathe in no other soap.  One 2 ounce bar of Winters Moon soap lasts as long as 2 or 3 bars of my husband's Ivory soap.  You know you deserve it!  Looking for a little gift, a nice little something for someone special?  How about a Judge's or 4H Leader's thank you gift, or show premium?  These soaps are uniquely perfect and inexpensive.  We carry these soaps and lotions in fragrance free for super sensitive skin types too.

We have recently added new scents!

 

 

Winters Moon Owwie Ointment - 2 ounce jar $7.59
Do you have a boo-boo, a scratch, bug bite, pimple or rash? How about your goat?  This salve is great for minor wounds, skin irritations and bruises for both the goatkeeper and the goat (and any other critter)!  This healing salve is all natural made from a blend of comfrey, lavender, calendula, chamomile, sweet almond oil and beeswax.  A tiny bit is all you need to relieve soreness and promote healing.
Winters Moon Buck Off! Soap - 2 oz. bar $2.00
This will really remove buck scent from your hands (and other parts)!  It helps remove a lot of it from the goat too, when you are getting Mr. Stinky ready for a show.  It is lemongrass and patchouli scented, so you and Mr. Stinky will smell great!
Winters Moon Scented Soap - 2 oz. bar $2.00 
More Wonderful Winters Moon Scented Soaps.  The Milk and Honey and Healing touch are especially soothing.  The 3 Kings and Sandalwood are nice for men.  Island Kiss smells like a day at the beach!  Even if you don't use scented soaps these are great long lasting sachets for your linen closet, dresser drawers and in your car.
Choose A Scent
Winters Moon Hand and Body Lotion - 4.5 oz. bottle $5.59
