Thursday, January 19, 2006 - Well, She's Here! |
Our goat arrived this morning around 8:00! She's lovely...and large! I
wish I had a picture of her to post! Maybe soon...We're all just
getting used to each other right now, and we think that maybe when she
feels a little more settled and familiar with the new digs, she'll have
those babies. She doesn't have any "papers", but she has a
reputation as a good milker. I think we have the supplies we'll need
when the babies come, but from what we've read, we probably won't need
much. I'm really really excited about this, and so glad to be able to
share my excitement here where you people understand what I am feeling.
Most people seem to think it's just plain weird. 
Amey
p.s. when I say "you people", that is a term of endearment. haha. Thanks for "listening"!

It IS nice to talk goats with others who love them! You are right, most folks have NO idea how wonderful they are!!
I have my first babies due in about 2-3 weeks!! Then another doe due a few weeks after that. I am excited, nervous and bubbling over with anticipation for the blessed event! I know nothing about kidding or raising kids, so look forward to hearing how things are going for you!!
Take care,
Fern |

| I am completely aware of where you are coming from here! Goats are great! Every spring is like Christmas- new goat kids being born, all different colors and personalities! Each birth is amazing, and you finally get to see what was in there!! It's the best time of year for that reason alone! Then you have summer, where the kids are romping, running, jumping, racing, and kicking up their heels. They are a delight! If people had goats, they would never need to watch television! Entertainment enough! |
