"The fiber of Circle Studio has evolved carefully since July of 2004. Serendipityplayed a large factor when 6 goats fell from the sky into our pasture that was justthere doing nothing. Since then, we have acquired 4 (2 rescue) goats from variousplaces and 7 goats from careful breeding. We lost a favorite goat Taylor (anoriginal) to a pre existing condition last winter. We are a small mother anddaughter operation that is growing slowly. We are spinning, dyeing, felting andknitting. But our favorite job is taking good care of our lovely goat friends. They have taught us much and for that we are always grateful. This year we had two sets of twins, which has brought our total to 16 goats. We, of course, know all their names and label all our product giving credit wherecredit is due. So the Circle Studio Goats from Tuck~A~Way~Farm are: Ben and Jerry(white), Badger and Big Boy(black) Treya (white), Freda (multi-brown) and Freya(multi-black), Bumblebee and Butterfly (both champagne), Lily and Lila (white), Raul(multi-light brown) and Julio(black), and finally, Ollie and Chloe (both black andgrey). We also have a buck named Orion's Cricket who lives quite happily withother bucks just outside of Janesville, WI.Tuck~A~Way~Farm is in Oregon, WI where five acres are devoted to the hay and 2 acresto goatee pasture. The last acre is for the home and Chris Maitzen, the dad's,photography studio, A True Likeness. Since 2004, we have built two barns, replacedthe 1000 ft fence and hope to add electricity and water to the barns. Gwen Maitzen, the mom, is a high school art teacher and mix media artist and KatieMaitzen is going off to college in the fall to study illustration and business. Katie is currently a 4-H member and is proud to say that Butterfly took grandchampion exotic at the Dane County Fair last summer. She is planning on continuingto help with Circle Studio during her college years and after.
