Ok, so it's been a very long time since I've posted anything! Sorry for the delay!
I have a goat update....
I've been asked by a friend of mine to take her last remaining goat. He's a very nice pygora whether (neutered male) named Dexter. Apparently he's lost his friend and he's very lonely at her house. So we're deciding whether (hahahaha pun intended) or not to add him to our herd. After much deliberation (ok, not that much) I think I've decided to take him in.
He will be a great friend for Pete once Pete gets ousted from the girl side. I'm hoping that Pete has done his job and that the girls are all pregnant. I can't be sure and I guess it's pretty hard to tell if they are or not. We'll have to wait until May or June to be positive. I found a "home goat ultrasound kit" in a magazine, but I'm not about to spend $300 on that device. Let alone try to figure out how to use it!
So, more on the acquisition of Dexter as the days go by.....
Keep watching!! I'll keep you "posted"... bah ha ha. I'm just full of it today!!

Day One of the Herd
Well, I guess I'm going to start blogging! It's too long to put on Facebook, and let's "face" it, not everyone wants to know my stories. Not all 219 of my "friends", at any rate.
Today I doubled my goat herd. Pete (our token male member) and Gympy came to join Frank and Maggie. I always thought that Frank was the dominatrix, if you will. Not so much. Maggie is really a brat! Wow. I was amazed at how pushy she was. I had never seen the girls use their horns before today.
Pete is just 6 weeks old, and is as tall as the girls. They are 7 months old! Amazing. He's going to be a big stinky boy. Haha.
I was really happy to have my dad here today. He was here when I got home from the goat farm. He has a lot of knowledge and information about goats. And, things in general. He sat with me and we watched the goats for hours. Eric was here for a little while when they came home. He made a divider for the goat hut so that Gympy and Pete can be separated from Franka and Maggie for the night. And, ultimately when he is old enough to procreate and we don't want him to.
So, I guess that's all from the Goat Ranch for tonight. I just put them to bed, and now I have to clean the house. It's a little payback to Eric for humoring my goat project!
