GOATS...GOATS...GOATS

Well we are finally ready for the goats. The boys and Laura (as well as me) were all quite excited about the event. We went and picked up Nanny Goat and Billy Goat today. They seemed a little nervous as was I, as we loaded them up one by one in our little goat trailer. It took a little coaxing to get them out of the trailer and into their new home. They seem to have adjusted and settled down by this evening. It looks as though (probably Billy) one of them
jumped on the top of the goat shed. Now the top on one side is bent over. Wish we coauld have caught sight of the acrobatics. I am sure we will have ample opportunity in the future. Laura seems taken with them. It takes a lot to keep her out in the midday sun to watch anything. We will give an update as we experience the life of having goats. Next I need to build a milking stand along with a permanent shelter and milking area. Hopefully others can benefit from our mistakes or share from their own wisdom and help us avoid some pitfalls. And one last photo as finally everyone is setled and all of the critters are checking each other out (Dog, Goats and Rooster).
