My goats

For those who are interested, I’m writing a post about my goats. For those who aren’t, too bad I’m writing about goats anyways.

OK, let’s see, I have four goats (3 nubians & 1 boer). I started out in September last year with a brown spotted Nubian doeling named Sally Brown, or just Sally for short. A while after that, I got two Boer kids ( buckling-Billy & doeling Barbie-Que brother and sister). I planned on keeping Billy and selling Barbie-Que, but Billy died a few weeks later and I and decided to keep Barbie-Que, and changed her name to Dolly.

About two months ago, my mom found out about two Nubian does (supposedly both pregnant). So we (my dad, brothers and me) hurried up and built a barn. Three weeks after my mom found the goats my dad took me to pick them up and bring them to their new home.

One of the new goats is solid black with reddish-brown markings on her legs and face, and she decided that she was going to be the boss (I decided she should be named “Queen”), so now all of the other goats have to get out of the way or else get rammed (they usually get out of the way, of course I would move too, Queen weighs about 180 pounds).

The other new goat is appropriately named speckles (she is covered in speckles) and doesn’t take too kindly to the idea of Dolly stealing her food.

I hope to get more goats sometime, but at least Queen is pregnant so I’m not sure how many new goats I’ll get. That’s all for now but I’ll keep you posted on Queen and her kids.
