Goaties

We have goats. I have enjoyed our goats. When we bought our first two goats, we decided to rent a billy and get some babies. There is NOTHING!!!!! cuter than a baby goat. And yes you can rent billy goats. About three weeks after we rented Gimly, that was the billy's name, we bought three more nanny goats at auction. After a couple of days we decided to separate all of the goats as the new ones were underfed and malnourished. We also didn't want them getting pregnant in their weakened conditioned. After a month we gave Gimly back and enjoyed our goats. We figured that the first two nannies we bought were pregnant. We didn't count on a bonus third being pregnant. But after two months we dicided that she was also pregnant, as her milk bag started to grow. We figured that if Gimly got her, she would be due in August. Nope, apparently she was pregnant when we bought her. Monday morning she gave birth to a healthy baby doe. We are so excited, as she is so cute. The horses were even excited. Today my white mare even got babysitting duties. Dont ask me how they figured that one out.
