These videos are disturbing......
By the way, Thanks, Vaps. I don't know why those videos bothered me so much. Maybe it was because the videographer (who appeared to be a woman??? or a very effeminate guy...) seemed to be ENJOYING whapping Elmo with that shotgun. *shudder*

Oh, how sweet. Theresa - the goat giver - posted this on the newsgroup this morning:

Thank you everyone for the inquiries about the goats (Rudy, Moo cow and Johnny) Moo Cow and Rudy have found a furever home close by where they will be doted on wonderfully.

(We might have to think about changing the doe's name...I can deal with Rudy, but Moo Cow? I just can't see myself hollering "Come here Moo Cow!" when I need to find my goat....Suggestions anyone?)

Sweetie, thank you. (... geesh, took me a minute or two to figure out WHICH button to push here, there is sooooo MANY new gadgets.... !!)

It's wonderful to hear the GOOD news of so many hitching up! (- which for all those perennail skeptics out there - and I kinda include my Self in that somewhere - it just goes to show you, stick at it and it works ....!! .)

Fino, I'll take a gander at the Chicago pics in a sec.

Your new pets are precious. There is an Angorra 'goat lady' relatively near here who makes the most beautiful shawls & scarves from her goats (almost got the preposition wrong there, hee, how weird would that be, ie. 'that she makes shawls/scarves FOR her goats...'!?!). Anyway, she's a delightful lady and very involved with the growing 'goat community' ...

It's a pity I have a complete and absolute total aversion to 'goat cheese'. Seriously. It is the one and only food item I just can not ingest ... Don't know why, I just can't.

That said, that doesn't diminish my interest in the little critters or their kind keepers ... You'll have to post snaps when you start breeding!!!

Thanks for the update Fino.
'I'll be back'.

Best to you all,
Pinz

Goats make GREAT pets, no lie! They are friendly and sweet if you raise them right. You can walk them on a leash like a dog. I always raised my goats on bottles when they were babies to make sure they were sweet. AND, she emailed me this morning and said she thinks the doe is bred again (this is okay, her baby was a year old now). So.....if that's the case in about 5 months I'll have a NEW little baby to raise! I leave them with the mama for the first 3 or 4 days to get the good stuff from mama's milk, then I bottle feed them the rest of the way (about 2 months, goaties grow up fast). If mama is tame enough I milk her and feed her milk back to the baby. If not, they make really good goat milk replacer and I use that. It is TOO cute to bottle feed a baby goat. They all climb up in your lap and stuff, lol. If she has a boy baby, ooops, he'll need to find a new home when he's weaned, but if she has a girl baby, that will be goat #3 for me. I'd like to have a total of 4. I have SO much craziness growing on this land that needs to be cleared, a 4-goat herd could have it the way I want it in less than a year. Now I just have to get busy with finding fence posts to run the fence for their new pen!
I don't think the condo association would take too kindly to me having a goat as a pet here, so I'm going to have to take your word for it. If you end up with a baby goat, you definitely need to post pics...I would love to see that!

Good luck with everything you have to do--sounds like you're going to be busy!

Never fear, if there is a baby (and there WILL be, whether she's bred now or not), CSC will be flooded with baby goat pics, lol. There isn't anything much cuter than baby goats, especially when they leap and play and butt heads. And from what I've read about fainters, they apparently fairly regularly have twins. Could I BE any happier? LOL

For all you naughties out there who think I'm just a crazy person looking for an excuse for more critters (and I know you're there, I can hear you breathing ), THIS is why I'm so excited to be getting some goats OTHER than the fact that I love goats.

This is the view from the top of my back porch into my back yard:
Facing left...


Facing forward - that's the well pump house...


Facing right towards the front yard...


Two steps down the back porch towards the yard - those things that are as tall as me? I JUST yanked up like 60 of those by hand less than two weeks ago and had cleared out that area right beside the steps...


This is the "mama" hydrangea that I stole all the bits from that are now the hydrangeas along the front fence...


A poor Rose of Sharon that is being slowly destroyed by wisteria...


Some of the run-wild Malva viscus that I have moved pieces of into the front yard...



The Rose of Sharon that's outside my bedroom window...


Do you feel my pain? LOL. I'm gonna have the fattest goats in the county!

Thanks for the link Fino! That is just hilarious.

I don't see any brambles, how'd you manage to avoid them? I went to Florida for the summer last year and when I came back, the backyard near the fence was full of them.

How do you keep the goats from eating the plants that you like... or will you just not have plants in the fenced area?

Well, I won't let them near the flower garden during flower garden season, although there are some things they don't like anyway, canna lilies, elephant ears and the like, but they LOVE daylilies, grrrrr, lol. I don't have anything I want planted in the back except that hydrangea I keep stealing from, and even if they eat some of that it won't matter. In the winter I'll let them go nuts in the front yard because everything I planted except the tire plants will have died off by then. I'll just throw some shade cloth over the tire plants and stake it down to keep them out of that. Anything else in the front yard they are welcome to demolish! But besides what's around the house, there's 6 more acres of hel1 to keep them busy....
