New Goats

Today we also got two new goats in for Georgia.  They came in via plane and had an easy ride in. Both of them are very well bred and more info can be found on our website on their breeding and pedigree.  They came from Little Tots Estate and we're excited to be adding them to the program.

 Getting them here was the easy part!  Once they got home it was late so we tried to feed them.  They wanted no part in being fed their bottles.  And to make matters worse we had little to no idea of how to bottle feed so it was hard. After a little annoying them with the bottle they finally took it.  After eating they decided they couldn't bare to be in the stall so we let them out. 

 They followed us around the farm as we finished all the chores and were happy as little larks. They hopped to the hay shed and skipped and ran while we cleaned the stalls.  The only hard part was they had a thing for getting right in front of our feet while we were walking!  Lulu tried to play with them but they wanted no part of that so they kept trying to but her to go away.

 We decided to Name them Isabella and Ferdinand.  To our dismay Ferdinand decided that he liked Isabella enough to try and start mounting her.  Boy will be boys *Eye roll*.  We ended up having to put them in separate cages at night till they can join their respective groups of bucks and does.  We know Ferd isn't fertile but Bella definitely didn't like the way he was trying to play! And we don't want her getting stressed out and getting sick.  Both of them will be showing next year.  Isabella will be showing as a dry yearling.
