Goats

Our newest addition to the farm are goats.  We traded 3 of our ram lambs that were born last spring that were ready to process for 7 goats; several of which are pregnant.  Here are a few...



Our sheep do a pretty good job of keeping pasture grasses down, but there are a lot of things they won't eat, such as blackberry bushes, cedar trees, and other goodies that they would have to reach up high for.  Fortunately, goats do eat all of those things.  We'll eventually need about 20-25 goats for the amount of land we have.  Since we have several that are pregnant, hopefully we'll have some kids (baby goats) very soon.

The goats are very friendly.  They'll come right up to us and like to nibble on our clothes.  This one wants to say "Hi"...






I'll get some pictures of the kids posted as soon as they're born!
