Baby Goats are here!!!

This morning i paid a visit to Dave Artigues of Elodie Farms and brought home two little angels! They are twins - one boy, one girl - and cute as buttons.

I am learning to bottle feed them, they haven't enjoyed the lessons any more than i have at this point, but we will keep trying. The nipples that i bought were made for two liter bottles, but Dave said beer bottles work better so we went that route for ease of use.

Today makes them 7 days old so all three of us better accept this whole bottle deal or we'll be in big trouble! I also dropped by the feed store and bought a bale of fescue hay and a bag of goat ration. Even though they aren't quite old enough to eat that they will pick at it and learn, same with the water bucket.

The best part of all this is that the kids don't know!!!! how surprised they will be when i pick them up from school! I will take some good pics and post an update later this weekend. Today is my trusty man servants 28th birthday so i should get busy on the food for his party!

cheers,
Nyn
