Aug 31 -- goats

Goats, doing goat things.

Napping. On a buddy.

Look at the patterns of the hair growth on her head. Also check out the eyelashes (most visible on the darker right side of the pic).




Napping. Wouldn't want to miss the next chance to eat!




Butting heads.

These babies were loose amongst the people, being more-or-less confined by a young teenage boy. They were far more interested in moving around (escaping and/or playing with each other) than in having their portraits taken.

They are very cute as babies but I think they will anything they can. I knew someone whose goat ate a tennis net.

On the other hand, they are excellent at eating stuff people would like to get rid of that no one else will eat. Even poison ivy..... :-)

I understand they are a lot more trouble to keep than sheep. Not only eating things we wish they wouldn't, but getting their heads stuck in fences, or escaping.....

Beautiful pics. I love goats. Had one when I was a girl. We got her to keep my high-strung and lonely quarter horse company. I had no idea I'd fall in love with these ornery, delightful, charming critters.

Thanks.

Do you have goats now, in addition to all the horses?
