Yes. Our visiting goat is still here. Would you like to have her? I've wormed her, and she's getting all the grass she can eat. I started giving her a ration of grain at night when I feed my three ladies. That was easier than standing over the group to keep her from eating from their long trough.
I would love to have her for DD, but don't think I could get dh to agree on me putting $100 worth of gas in the truck to pick up a goat, if I thought I could get away with putting her in a dog box in my van I would. Think the smell might linger a while in the van though!!! Now what I really need is a goat / sheep trailer I could pull behind my van!
DH did the happy dance when he heard there was someone interested in the visiting goat. Here's what I'm thinking... If you would like to have her and can drive a truck half way, I can meet you on I-40 near Shawnee. She will be riding in a metal transport cage. We can unload the goat, move the transport cage to the back of your truck, and then put the goat back in. Sometime before November I'll need the transport cage back, but until then you can just keep it at your place. This gets you a goat for the price of gas to go half way. She's a neat goat, but I've got my three milkers, so I really, really have not use for a fourth she goat. Here's one more option: I think I can make the trip up and back on $30.00 worth of gas, so if you'd rather not drive at all, you could have a goat delivered to you for thirty American dollars. There would be a surcharge of ice water when I get there, but beyond that, I think we'd be good.
