Be careful or you'll end up coming home with your livestock trailer full to the max with goats AND chicks ;)

Yep. Happens all the time. They say, "I can stop anytime," and "It's just recreational." But soon you end up with a pen full of goats and chickens.

I swear, I can stop anytime.

I got the chance to 'pat them down' and look at them up close yesterday ;)
No weird lumps or bumps or odd colored udders or missing hair or anything.
I think I actually sat with them in the barn and chatted with the owner for a good 90 minutes too hah
She's awesome and has all the vaccination records seriously everything.

Their feet looked pretty darn good ;)
The goat totally didn't care that we were touching their legs and feet and faces and udders.

I'm excited :D
I'm excited for you. :thumbsup

oh!
They traveled surprisingly well!
Like, didn't make a sound and they were super easy to load!

They made it home fine, and are very well behaved.
Well, ya know they tested the barn stalls, but didn't try to bust out.
The older doe is incredibly sweet. I also thought they'd be really vocal?
But they just hummed and muttered to themselves, it was great.

I'll have to take pictures this afternoon when I get home from school.
The 10 month old is names Poptart, and the 8 year old is Virginia. lol
