Meet Jac and Walter

[Catahoula]

My baby goats:

I was with them for a short while. I think I'll let them get more comfortable first. I noticed some food was eaten, so I guess that's a good sign? One of them...his stomach keep making noise. Is that normal? It sounds like food moving in stomach... BTW, Jac is the spotted one (94% Boer) on and Walter the dappled (88%) and of course, Cooper. My three boys!

Beautiful boys! I have a Boer/Kiko buckling that looks exactly like Jac! Same color coat and same spots!

It is a good sign! and that noise is WONDERFUL! Noisy stomach means a happy, healthy, goat! It's it digesting and putting it through all those 4 stomachs!

ETA: THEY ARE ADORABLE! Love the spots!

Thanks for the info. I just spied on them (I can see them from my spare room). They are walking around and one of them is eating...

Another thing, don't be afraid to play with them alot. Mine were a hint skittish too, I just sat in the barn and loved them if they came up to me. (IF)
Just hang out with them, they'll get used to it.

ANother thing, a great BYHer did, she read a book aloud. Her goats soon became interested. I think goats like voices, so don't be afraid to speak in a gentle happy tone that they can get used too.
later they'll know and love your voice and come up to you.

I did that too! Also, though I'm not sure if it really worked, I had an old flannel shirt I'd put on when I went to go see them, hoping they would recognize it, and know who I was (by sight or smell-it certainly smelled like goat!). And it had great pockets to hold treats!
