Christmas for new goat owners

[lovinglife]

My husband asked me what I want for Christmas this year, I said, I want a new goat pen, feeder, mineral feeder, a ton of hay and a cheese making kit.... He thought I was crazy, but the girls will be coming just after the new year, I need to have all my supplies ready....

Sounds like perfect Christmas gifts to me!

x2 That sounds great.

No, that shouldn't be your Xmas gift. That is what is needed for goat keeping so it shouldn't be your present. I would ask for more goats!
I actually asked for a livestock scale...some day DH won't be able to lift all the kids to weight them. It is all for his own good.

I Love it!

Drew asked me what I wanted and I said FENCING! Our current fencing is not holding the goats in so I requested something better

I see I am not the only practical one here! What better way to justify the expense of getting and caring for new critters, than as a Christmas gift. I love it, I dont have to feel guilty about my animal obsession! The milk and cheese will be an added bonus..

I think it's perfect! I asked for the same thing - except I asked for a whole barn plus supplies, plus cheese making kits. Course we don't have the money for that but hey, Christmas is for miracles - thought I'd throw it out there in case Santa is feeling generous this year

sometimes I wonder what our husbands are really thinking!

I asked for a milker since I hopefully will have milk in the Spring.With arthritic hand issues I don't think I will be doing much milking by hand..DW asked for a chainsaw (don't ask me) so I am getting her an electric chainsaw..Hopefully I will get a hand milker..More goats would work too..................Mike
