I got a new goat!

Since I won't be having any babies, I decided to get this goat. Please give your opinions
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8...D550/ry%3D400/
Do you think she is pregnant?
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8...D550/ry%3D400/
What should I name her?
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8...D550/ry%3D400/
How does her udder look?
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8...D550/ry%3D400/

Yes...I do believe I have gone over the edge. Maybe you should pray for me. :baby04:

Well, she's got a serious overbite. And her udder's poorly attached. And she should have been de-horned. On the other hand, she probably will be cheap to feed.:banana02::banana02::banana02:

Oh my word, you are way too funny!!!!! Fortunately for me, I am visiting my sister in NJ right now and am on her computer so the only one staring at me as i sit here laughing my behind off is my 22yr. old son and he already knows that I am a bit off. I love your goat soooo much. Where did you find her? Oh, her udder looks like one of my does too. But from the rear shot I would say she just finished a heat cycle so she probably isn't bred. But that smile makes me think that she may have had relations with a gentleman recently, so look for another heat cycle in about twenty one days or so. Good luck and you should have some colorful babies in the spring. You are a riot.

I would quarantine her for a few weeks and if she hasn't moved by then, sell her on Criagslist.

Somehow she was abandoned in a warehouse gift mart in Minneapolis. She was very expensive for not being tested...but like Rose said, she does have papers...unfortunately the papers don't list any breeds/sex/color etc. But I broke down and paid the $9.99 for her.
