Goats

[Cape Cod Bird Man]

Since we moved to Vermont, we have been trying new things... on that note, my wonderful wife says to me last week that she wanted to get a goat! Small dwarf/pygmy goats. Today we took a little trip and picked up 2 little goats. We made a small pen in the side yard -- we will be getting a larger one this week. They are very cute and a little sad I think because they were with a large herd of goats, sheep, alpaca and llamas -- oh, a few horses too

You will LOVE goats! We have llamams with ours, and they do good, but they are fine with just other goats, too. I'm glad you didn't maker a newbie mistake that some people make - getting only one goat. They will go NUTS! We sold a little baby a few months ago and the people buying him said "oh no, he'll be fine by himself". We warned her, and sure enough they called the next day saying he had bloodied his head up trying to get out of the fence. Don't worry, he is fine now!

Lucky!!!! I love goats, i got to do training at the zoo with some pygmies and I adored them. They are such intelligent and fun animals. I am so glad that you got two of them. They are very cute

How adorable, your photo has brought back many memories! Many years ago I worked as an excersier and outrider at a huge Foxhound stable. They had a herd of goats. One day one almost identical in color to your black and white suffered a broken leg. The tiny tyke was still nursing and so adorable. The vet onsite x-rayed and put a little cast on it. I brought him home. Named him "Goatly" bottle fed him, leash broke him and after his leg healed would walk him around our neighborhood. until he started getting over our white picket fence and eating all the neighbors flowers Ah..back out to the farm he went.

Thanks for bringing back some forgotten memories

Very cute! What is the white one? It looks like a Saanen, We raise Pygmy goats. We have over 60 right now.

Adorable, congrats! I grew up with goats too, and we lived in the suburbs in NJ! I was the youngest, and could not partake, but my sisters were in 4H. We had a Nubian named Tiffany. We would walk her on a leash, and people would stop to ask what kind of dog she was...
