BUT...why are you putting T-posts in with a sledgehammer? Isn't there someone you can borrow a T-post driver from? It makes it SOOOO much easier and much more safe.

We have a t-post driver, I just couldn't find it. :/

Please, find it before you drive anymore!

Oh, I definitely will!

what kind are they? saanen? and nigi?

Marshall is a Saanen. Milly is an Arapawa/saanen cross.

How are they settling in?

How are they settling in?

Rather nicely, I think (not entirely sure, I'm not completely sure how goats are supposed to act normally, but they seem happy. They have plenty of room indoors and a small outdoor run (I'm working on a bigger one). I also take them on walks around the house so they can eat the brush. The lead-training part is kinda stressful for everyone, but they're adapting well, and I'm learning FAST.

Ahhhh! You're smart then! It's funny how fast our animals can train us!

Oh, they are DEFINITELY training me! I'm learning to tell their baaas apart now. There's the I-want-grain baaa, the Come-here-and-let-me-lick-you baaa, the Take-me-out-for-a-walk baaa... I'm a slave to my goats, and I've never been happier!

Yes, they were wormed right before they came to our farm. We're worming them again in December.
