GOAT ADDICTS ANONYMOUS

[frustratedearthmother]

Well, I did know the number because I sold them goats in the past and had them in my contacts... as "wants more goats", lol! But they didn't leave a message....so I'm not calling 'em back! And, I'm picky where my goats go and I think these folks are looking for something to re-sell. I'm not about that!

We sold one goat, a wether, so that we could keep our buckling (his pen partner is coming this summer putting us at 2 bucks-both are usable not feed wasters) because, as my husband puts it, "we like Rosco" My number is 10 maximum adults. I guess technically as long as you own the parents all of the offspring you keep are considered kids forever right?

This epiphany could enable many, many more.

Ha! So, if my daughter sold one Nigerian so she could add a Saanen, she actually traded 1/2 a goat for 1 goat. Saanens might be like 1 1/4. LOL. That was pretty slick of her.

So new goat count : 3.5 Nigerians, 7 Lamanchas, 1 1/4 Saanen. I'll be updating my husband on the herd reduction.

A friend told me once that she would buy a dress, hang it in the closet and when DH finally noticed, asking "is that new?", she could reply with " that's been hanging in there a long time"

NOW -- because Saanens are white, cream....unless he takes the time to actually count (most don't) the new one isn't noticed for "a while". At that point, she's "been there a long time" may cover it.

I don't think my DH would notice... as long as it wasn't solid white. That- yep- he'd notice.

I could add one with two heads and my DH would never know. He doesn't ask and I don't volunteer any information.

Friends came over to see our baby goats. They asked if we'd be selling them. At the same time my husband was saying "No, but we'll probably sell the next ones." I was saying "No and we won't be selling the next ones." They looked at us funny, the guy laughed and said to my husband "I don't think you'll be selling the next ones. Smart guy.

you guys make me laugh.....unfortunately for us, my DH would know if anything new was added but on the other hand he'd be okay with it
