For those of you with goats

THEY'RE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The farm emailed me this morning. I'm mailing in a deposit on the 2 black and white doe kids and I can get them in 7 weeks. 7 WEEKS...

That's a long time to wait! If I have any money left over from my goat fund when I get to the farm I may pick up a wether too.

Edited for spelling....

Thats longer than waiting for eggs to hatch!

Poor little bucks get a bad rap...... I love my bucks..... yes they are gross sometimes, but very loveable and they had their scent glands burnt? which i didn't know you could do so they don't smell too bad either. Of course the kids do give them baths for the pee face thing. I also have mini bucks and I hear that they aren't as bad.

Here are the three of them together

I may get a buck in the future. I was playing around with the pee face thing. I don't have much room to keep a buck separated from the does and he would be lonely alone anyway.

Well YAY!!!

Congrats! Remember before you buy a wether, though, that you're going to have to breed those does to get that milk--and that will mean more goats that you're going to have to either keep or sell. You may want to save that space for a doe or wether of your own that you don't want to part with.

ronshoney, your little guys are adorable!!
