um... I've got goats

Griff · 09-21-2005, 05:06 PM

Feeling theatened that I may no longer be the biggest hillbilly in the cellar, I have purchased goats. This will also soften the upcoming fall of civilization. Pictures to come!

Tinker

Daisy

Molly

They are each about ten weeks old, cute as the dickens, bred by my Dr., and of mixed heritage.

They are from Saanen, Boer, Nubian, etc.. stock. My MD has been breeding these animals for a while as part of his hard core country living reaction to having a real career.

Didn't one of our Aussie Dwellars have some demon goats or something like that?

Oh, they're American goats.

I like!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-21-2005, 08:01 PM

10 weeks and they're already horny.

I gotta say that's fantastic. Are you lookin to milk them eventually? (Will you make cheese?)

Griff · 09-21-2005, 08:22 PM

At this point we'll probably breed one for milk and cheese making. My property is badly overgrown with multiflora rose, Russian olive, and autumn olive. Goats love that stuff! I'm going to build a lot of fence and use the temporary electric to move them around. They are crossbred dairy/meat so we can expect decent meat production so maybe in a couple generations we'll locate some ethnic types who have a freezer. They really are sweet though so I may just end up with a population problem. The kid's (human) old jungle gym is inside their fence, you should have seen the kids (capra) trying to run up the slide.

Griff, you'll always be my 2nd favorite hillbilly.

(No one tops Slang, of course.)

She is definitely the brain of the organization and she's willing to assert her [cartman]authority[/cartman] despite her diminutive size. She's the herd boss and takes care of all interspecies communication.

Thanks Syc but I've morphed into another life*. Not even in the running now.

I've always been a rifleman. I bow to your superior short arm status.

Thanks for the Nigerian goat from the source. I am one sore puppy tonight from building fence for our three little gals.
