Unbelievable – Joe has allowed me to get more goats! Ok - it was a great deal and he even said so.
I am hoping to start milking later this week as the new girls settle in and we get the milking machine put together.
So what happened? Friday – dreary day I was goofing off waiting for stuff to download on my computer (gotta love the library to load up my MP3 player with books!)….so I decided to browse Craigslist just to see if there was any equipment available. Looked up “goats” and found an ad. After talking to the person on the phone – he decided that he didn’t want to sell all the goats…. back and forth on Saturday morning (while I froze at the Farmer’s Market!) we came to the final number and an agreeable price…. 10 does with 14 kids at their side. They were all born in December and January so they were set and ready to go.
Saturday afternoon – set out to go and pick up the goats! 5pm Saturday – unloaded the goats and took a deep breath.
We spent Sunday taking pictures and looking/watching them – making sure everything was ok – and matching numbers up to records. They are GREAT looking animals! And even Joe had to admit that to me 
So here are some pictures for you all to look at…. we are excited and the 1st picture our now 11 year old son took.
So we will have goat meat (another exciting this – it is yummy!) and we will have Goat’s Milk – hopefully by this weekend if everything goes as planned!!
