Got my goats 4 month ago

I would like to thank everyone that answered many of of my questions. I so love these goats, Lily a Nubian and Rocky the Oberhasli wether. They have brought so much fun to this farm. I was brushing Lily the other day and she was so loving it that she dropped to her knees and then she went to sleep. LOL. Then there is the headbutting, they so love it, a game every morrning. So thanks.

No, have not posted pictures. I will try, not real good at posting pictures. Everyday is an adventure with them. But I so love them, now that I have figured out how to latch the gates, so they can't open them. They are just to smart for thier own good. LOL

We just got 2 Nubians, and we are loving them. I never would have guessed they have such personalities! We are having fun with ours too...

If you think life is great with Lily and (norocks) Rocky just you wait till Lily finds kids. Now baby goats are indescribably wonderful. I'd also like to see pix of your goats.

Nothing like the love and enjoyment that our pet "friends" bring us.
Glad you are enjoying them.
