Loving the herd life
I'm really not good at journals and things, so this will probably be rather erratic. (I'm not even sure how to start, lol!)
Anyway, I thought it would be nice to have somewhere to post photos of my animals, and just keep track of what I'm doing.
My goats;
Snowball, she is a rescue rangeland (feral) goat that we heard crying in the near by hills three or so years ago. She was just a couple of days old, and very hungry! I don't know what happened to her mum, or if she just got lost. She is now the boss, and can be a terror around feeding time.
Alice, she is Snowballs older daughter, and her dad is an angora. (it was not my idea for Snowball to get pregnant at 8 months old, but our fences were used to angoras, not a determent rangeland, and I don't think it really did her any harm)
Snowballs twins from last year,
The boy
The girl
And Alices baby from last year, (I know, I know, she shouldn't have had that baby, but I never even knew she was in heat, and I didn't think she could get though that fence, She even put herself back)
She was a bottle baby, as Alice didn't do the best job, and I had to take her inside as she got to cold.
We also have a couple of angora bucks, which are kept separate, and two little scruffy angora does which are poorly bred and just for pets.
Fortunately this year our fences have held up, along with some new electric fencing, so Alice and particularly Snowball are taking a well-deserved break.
