goats!

We finally found some goats that are from a very good family! I can hardly believe our luck and how it all happened. I went to a silent meditation retreat last weekend (that wasn't really silent but very cool nonetheless) and met someone there who had a farm. I asked if she had goats and not only did she, but she had 2 young does that were looking for a home. It was totally awesome. They were born this spring and won't be ready to have kids for another year, but that's totally ok. I'm thinking that I am going to reconfigure the chicken coop so that all the animals, including the goats, can be in there this winter. They would all help keep each other warm and they'd have some company. How that's all going to work out is quite beyond me at the moment. We've got geese who think they run the place, turkeys that try to run the place, guineas who harass everyone else and a bunch of roosters who can't keep their hands off the chicks. It might be a bit of a zoo in there! But if no one gets lonely and they all stay warm, it should be worth it.

Here are some pics. Chocolate is the chocolate colored one, and Cinnamon is the...You guessed it...Aren't they awesome looking?
