um... I've got goats

Griff · 09-21-2005, 05:06 PM

Feeling theatened that I may no longer be the biggest hillbilly in the cellar, I have purchased goats. This will also soften the upcoming fall of civilization. Pictures to come!

Griff · 09-21-2005, 07:18 PM

Tinker

Daisy

Molly

They are each about ten weeks old, cute as the dickens, bred by my Dr., and of mixed heritage.

Iggy · 09-21-2005, 07:26 PM

I like!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-21-2005, 08:01 PM

10 weeks and they're already horny.

Undertoad · 09-21-2005, 08:03 PM

I gotta say that's fantastic. Are you lookin to milk them eventually? (Will you make cheese?)

elSicomoro · 09-21-2005, 08:08 PM

Griff, you'll always be my 2nd favorite hillbilly.

(No one tops Slang, of course.)

I just love that WTF face Tinker is giving you in the first picture

Griff · 09-21-2005, 08:22 PM

At this point we'll probably breed one for milk and cheese making. My property is badly overgrown with multiflora rose, Russian olive, and autumn olive. Goats love that stuff! I'm going to build a lot of fence and use the temporary electric to move them around. They are crossbred dairy/meat so we can expect decent meat production so maybe in a couple generations we'll locate some ethnic types who have a freezer. They really are sweet though so I may just end up with a population problem. The kid's (human) old jungle gym is inside their fence, you should have seen the kids (capra) trying to run up the slide.

She is definitely the brain of the organization and she's willing to assert her [cartman]authority[/cartman] despite her diminutive size. She's the herd boss and takes care of all interspecies communication.

They are from Saanen, Boer, Nubian, etc.. stock. My MD has been breeding these animals for a while as part of his hard core country living reaction to having a real career.

Didn't one of our Aussie Dwellars have some demon goats or something like that?

wolf · 09-22-2005, 12:43 AM

Sun_Sparkx has the Goat-from-Hell, I believe.

Tonchi · 09-22-2005, 03:01 AM

Goats are more fun to watch than a weiner-dog on a waxed floor. Going up the down slide on a play set is very typical, they are very creative and persistant about finding the highest vantage point. Your pickup or car, shed roof, the woodpile or the house roof, they are all fair game. I have also heard they can turn doorknobs and get into places you never expect to find them, it's harder to goat-proof your property than you will imagine. You're going to catch them doing some pretty amazing stuff, so keep the camera handy!

Have a pigmy goat near us. Has struck up an endearing friendship with a donkey that is in the same field. They are inseparable and spend all their time together. Will try for a photo at the weekend if possible (i.e they are out and about).
