They said he's pure nigi, but clearly doesn't meet height standards for the breed. But he had all his testing done and at an unbeatable price for such a nice goat.
And I'm about to head off that auction I got clover from... wish me luck with not coming home with more goats
So apparently Lily has gone into heat, and punk rock goat Hagred is a ladies man, for sure. I am losing it watching these two romance. My neighbors started playing Barry Mannelow for them this morning. I was crying laughing so hard, but sure enough they finally Did The Do. Mayhaps there will be...
The very back of the van. No seats. The rest of the van was filled with our loot and I wanted to make sure clover stayed in the tote (and peed and pooped there.)
Anyway, that's how she got her name. Bambi (the deer) -> "but it has to be a flower name..." wasn't the skunk clover?
There are automagical dog doors that fit to kennel sizes and work with dog collars. Dog approaches door, door opens, dog is locked in, eats. Dog turns around, door opens, locks behind dog. We have it for our dog that needs meds in her food, though I can't recall the name of the product.
Yessum. She is in quarantine right now. @Goat Whisperer warned me about auctions, but at those prices, I couldn't let it go. If she dies or had to be put down, it was only 25.
Goats never go for that cheap at this auction, and everything there was ridiculously priced. I bought a table saw for...
Welcome the two newest additions to our herd. (You guys warned me about this, and I didn't listen.)
This is Hagred the punk rock goat
And this is clover.
I tried Myrtle's milk today, and it's pretty good! I think it tastes like 1% cows milk with a slight... something else.
I also finished the automagical milker, and she has stopped putting up a fuss over me milking her. Win/win. It is leaking air around the hoses, so it needs tweaking, but I'll...
So rural king is having a 20% off on fencing sale. I'm considering getting enough fence to completely redo my property and cross fence. What's the cheapest gap I could get away with? I'm comfortable with a 4' fence as none of my goats are jumpers... but they do lean on the fencing a lot. And are...
I have my heart set on Nigerians, Petunia not withstanding. I can lift Myrtle, even being a pain, all by my lonesome, which is handy. How big do the male nigies get to?
My lamancha does the same... but I love it and I think it's adorable. She doesn't really mess with anything, but if you stick your face down at goat level, she like... breathes in your face. It's quite funny. I can really see how that would be less than ideal in a rutting goat, though.
