We've Goat Some News

Why is Ryan trying to nap on this tiny little bed? Because his crate has been borrowed from him and put to better use...

(have I mentioned before that dog crates and xpens are the most useful things to have around on a farm? Tarps, too.)


Welcome to the farm, Maggie & May!


Maggie & May are 4-month old Nubian goat sisters.



They're pretty timid right now - they were just taken away from their mom last night, when we picked them up. They've been calling for her a lot.

They're still happy to eat, though!



Goats are apparently pickier eaters than people think. They seem to enjoy munching on the blackberry branches I cut for them. They're in the yard near the house while we get them a little tamer. It's handy since we walk by them constantly and can give them treats easily, but there isn't much for them to eat in there.

Goats are notorious fence testers. Hopefully we can keep them contained!


Their faces are pretty similar but Maggie has these funny wattles under her chin, and a white tail.



May has a black tail and a white stripe around her belly.


 They are adorable...I want to pet their ears so badly! I think they'll come around pretty soon - they're very curious.
