My Gang of Feebs (pic) - Goats

MAN, I wish it were that warm here now! And that was just a month ago!!!

Left to right:

Sweetums the llama, near is Beauty (the listeriosis goat) - Kinder, far is Blackie - Kinder, Agatha-Spot (14+ yr old Nubian) with Rachel Rae (her daughter) (I love her ear flips) at her side, and Bourbon (11 yr old Nubian). I don't have a good picture of my three (yeah, yeah, three) bucks. Two Nubians and a Kinder...

But THIS is my gang. Last Spring I had 22 goats. Now, a more healthy and manageable 8 (including the bucks).

Bourbon, Beauty, and Blackie should be having babies on or about January 1. *sigh* Planning is not one of my best attributes sometimes...

I'd love to have another yama. The goats and especially babies use Sweetums for a furry blanket/rug. The babies actually sleep on him. Sweetums does a nice job for a cranky gelding.

I have ~8-10 acres electric fenced off for them. They keep it park-trimmed for me...

Bourbon looks like a beached whale now...
