new goats

On saturday march 27th, a trailer arrived at 10 thistledew lane with 4 doeling goats and 2 heifers. The goats are adorable! Twin nigerian dwarf mixed pygora sisters and two pygora doelings, one white and one champagne, both with wonderful fleece possibly even better than harold's so the combination of this flock should yield some amazing fleeces and milk. They are all so precious. No animal can make me as mad as a goat, but no animal is as endearing. You have to take both sides and take the anger with a pinch of salt- they are not going to change for no one! So we love them as they are. Right now I might be the only one who loves Harold= he's just so much buck...... the testosterone is overwhelming at times and I'm wondering what to do with him. He can get out of every pasture and every stall except the ones in the poultry barn that has chicken netting to the ceiling......... yeah he's the best at getting out, opening doors, opening trash cans and feed bins- they all have to be kept away from him. So lets see what happens with this one. For now we're trying to keep him off the does and let them grow a little more before he starts impregnating them.
