Straw Hat Kikos

Great photos! C1 needs a name. You can't just call her C1 all the time. You should name her if you plan to keep her. But heck I'll likely name the kids born here even though they likely won't stay. C1 is a pretty girl though. I'd gladly take her for my herd, but I may get some kids with similar coloring from my does too. Love Katie's coloring too, I love the unique face markings.
Buck shelter is nice and Callie is getting big!
It looks like you took a curling iron to Moses hair do!

I betcha if he tried to come at Moses with a curling iron, SHK would be the only one getting touched with it

Likely yeah, which made it all the more funny. Mental pictures are fun. Just imagine a man standing there curling the goats hair! Or more appropriately the man running the other way with a curling iron in hand because he tried to sneak up on the goat!

What is with that weird hair thing on Moses forehead? Does he know that is growing there?

Oh man Straw, I bet your heart was jumping out of your chest for a minute there when you saw the hay rack with the goat under it. Gosh things like that happen all the time here! We've had goats stuck before and the only way you can tell how long they've been there is by how big that pile of poo is that's under them lol. Now I am always keeping an eye out for something that doesn't look quite right. Counting animals, etc. Looking for hazards, there are plenty! Especially now with the baby goats running around. All kinds of trouble they can get into!

And Moses, hmm, well he is just...MOSES! He really is something else!

Moses is one good looking buck. You must stop tempting me to get a Kiko.

I think Moses is a handsome dude. I love his curly hair. Wonder if it will transfer to his offspring?

I don't thin Mo would be so happy if I went after him with a curling iron.

His hair is rather funny though. It used to be really thick and large but is less so now and just goes everywhere like how you see there. haha

I myself don't mind it and think it is kinda funny. I actually don't really notice much either until I look at pictures and see how crazy it does look.

@Bridge
Yep, it was pretty scary at first because I had no idea if she was ok and remember she is pregnant so that could have been bad. I was fine though as soon as I got there and saw that she was ok and when she turned her head around and started eating hay then chewing cud I was just laughing. I strongly feel that her babies are ok too. It does worry me a bit that she drug it that far but I think both her and the kids are good.

Wow that goat must have been there a while. They don't like pooing when they are held like that. haha Glad they are all fine though.
btw how many sheep and goats do you have now? Do you even know! haha


Thank you both. I like him too. He really is my pride and joy. I know he is growing too. He is getting taller and wider and his horns are getting bigger everyday it seems. Shame he seems to be growing now (not like 4-6 months ago) but as long as he gets to a good size I'm good with that. I think that he just weaned kinda small from the situation that he was in, then he was just a slower growing buck, then rut (he didn't gain hardly anything) and soon after he started really growing but then his Pinkeye issue took alot out of him and now he is growing good again. So all should be good I hope. He already has GREAT parasite resistance and above average hooves too esp. for all the wet we have here. btw it rained all morning when it wasn't supposed to. :/

@BRM
Everyone needs a Kiko. Best breed on the planet.

@verkagj
I really have no idea. I guess we'll see real soon. I actually need to give them their CDT's soon. I should have given them yesterday but it doesn't really matter. I may give them today but maybe not. Soon though. ha

Glad everyone was alright. I woudl have freaked out. That is why I use the goat panels and not the cattle panels. Less chance of stuck heads.

I Moses! He's so HANDSOME! LOVE the wild hair - such personality!

I WOULD make a joke about SHK running after Moses with the curling iron, wearing panty hose (tick preventative) with sparkely lip gloss (chapped lips prevention)....but that wouldn't seem "manly"!!!

Callie & D playing...how fun are THOSE shots?! Callie IS a beaut!

Yes they are. They two really like each other and love to play. And thank you. Cal is my baby and I have no idea what I would do without her.

@Jodie
She's the only one that can get her horns thru there anyways and she can just BARELY get them in. She actually has to work at it. Everyone else's horns are to big. And that's what I had laying around so I used the cattle panel. You know how that is. haha

 

[bonbean01]

Wow...glad it all turned out okay!!!! That would have given me a scare too

Okay...Coco has given us all a very good visual ... curling iron, pantyhose, lip gloss...

And personally, I think Mose's do is awesome and keeps getting better
