I'm getting a goat!

Congrats! I see you joined GoatTalk! Looking forward to seeing you there, too.

Yup - get Lucy a friend, she'll do much better that way.

Thanks for the replies. Lucy has arrived safe and sound. She's cute as a button, solid white and thinks she is a person. She took to my boys straight away and the 5 year old is spoiling her rotten already.

I joined GoatTalk so am ready to learn all I can. Dh isn't home yet ( LMAO ) so has no idea what he's coming home to find. I'm going to start looking for a Dwarf Nigerian doeling that is unregistered/not show quality for her to have as a buddy.

I'll get pics soon.

Yep they love company and children just love goats, I saw you joined Goat Talk ...Kate and I are members there and we just love it...hope to see you there and yes you can find Nigerians that are cheaper and you can get wethers for $25 or 50 and they dont smell like bucks do ...Thats if you dont want to breed them but a doe would be nice too I have over 40 goats and love all of them...I raise Nigerians and La Manchas and Alpines...so its a goat Heaven here...Have fun with your new girl and remember to not overfeed her as they tend to be little pigs...always eating...

why don't you breed her in a couple months!? in 5 months you will have babies, 1 or 2!

You might also consider kinders if you're looking for dairy and meat.. They're a great dual purpose goat.. I think there's a couple of breeders in your region of the US.. Here's the site for the Kinder Goat Breeders Association.. www.kindergoats.com

Thanks for the info on the Kinders. I found a VERY nice lady in Virginia who is going to give my son a dwarf Nigerian doeling of his choosing. I'm going to make arrangements with her to get the Nigerian in the next couple of weeks.

As for deporting DH. I don't know if the State of Kentucky wants him back. LMAO
