What itty bitty little cute pipsqueaks! Those are probably some of the most adorable babies I've seen...and there's a lot of pretty darn adorable babies out there, especially goats!

Oh my gosh..what a close call! SO glad that the little one pulled through.

They are both so cute..too cute for their own good!

Gizmo or Gus the Gremlin.

Dusky suggested a contest! In celebration, we are offering a prize for the person whose goat name is chosen!! The name will be chosen on 03/01/2013. The book in question is:

http://www.amazon.com/Hay-Fever-Chas.../dp/B007SRYAD6

The compelling, funny story of a high-powered professional’s life-changing journey from Manhattan big cheese to Vermont goat cheesemaker

In the tradition of food memoirs like Under the Tuscan Sun and A Year in Provence, Hay Fever tells the story of New York City literary agent Angela Miller and how looking for tranquility on a Vermont farm turned into an eye-opening, life-changing experience. Seeking solace in the midst of midlife strife brought on by family stress and a high-stakes career, Miller and her husband bought a farm in rural Vermont.
But what started as a part time “project” turned into a full-blown obsession and culinary passion that not only changed their lives forever, but also resulted in some of America’s best cheeses, prestigious awards, and media fame. Today, cheeses from Consider Bardwell Farm are featured at some of the country’s best restaurants, including Jean Georges, Daniel, and The French Laundry.

• For cheese lovers and would-be farmers, it’s an inside look at the everyday operation of a successful and growing dairy farm
• Author Angela Miller, literary agent in New York City, has won prestigious awards for her cheeses and has been featured in such publications as the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Travel & Leisure, and Martha Stewart Living
• More than a memoir—the book includes recipes from the author and top food personalities like Mark Bittman and Jean-Georges Vongerichten

Hay Fever is an inspiring and entertaining memoir that will whet the appetite of food lovers and would-be farmers from coast to coast.


It might be a different edition of the book but it is in hardback

Thus far, the names suggestions are:

Incowgnito - Ineligible, as it is a name I came up with, for the contest but a fun name nonetheless

Lil Blackfoot

Gus The Gremlin

Rorschach!
(either after the test or after the guy from the Watchmen)
(( I just won, ya'll.. you know I did.. )

Ok... so I feel really bad.
I am no longer a goat person, so I can't play.
But I still like the name.
I think I was just swept away by the teensy sweetness.

Can't really think of any names but did want to say that I think you are really confused about those babies! Those are dalmation puppies not goat kids.....aren't they?

I really, REALLY think you need to take more pictures of both babies so we can see their wittle faces. In those photos they look like they could fit in my coat pockets - they are just so cute!
(and I don't own any goats, or any farm animals - just dogs, a cat and a couple of rats. I come here for my baby goat fix!)

He is SUCH a sweetie, and he's out of our best tempered buck. I'm certain he's going to make somebody a wonderful pet. We've decided he's gonna have to go when he's a month or two old as a continued bottle baby project so we don't get so attached we HAVE to keep him.

I love that spot on the doeling's nose.

Nice save on the buckling. They're so fragile the first few days.

Contest is ABSOLUTELY open to all HTer's, not just those that own goats. The book we're giving away should be of interest to goat fanciers as well as goat owners.
