On Saturday, March 22, Conocococheague Institute (CI) welcomed new friends to the farmstead–.three Black Welsh Mountain Sheep: Deuce (the mother) and her two young daughters, as well as three Nigerian Dwarf Goats: Carmella (the mother) and her little boy and girl. The mamas have names but CI needs your help to name the babies.
