Meet our second goat, Honey. We were only planning on having one goat, but as you may know, goats are herd animals. Unless you want to be out there with them all the time you need at least two. Sweetie was moaning really loud every time we left here alone, so we thought it would be a good idea to invest in another. We got her from the same guy we bought our meat and Sweetie from. Here's the kicker about Honey: she's young, only about 1, and she's pregnant. She's due to have babies in March. We thought it might be a good idea to have her pregnant, so when it's time for Sweetie to be freshened, we can still have her milk. Win win. I've never had any animals deliver before, so I think it will be an interesting adventure.
We really like Honey. She has the cutest little bleat and she is a pretty little thing. She's very gentle and submissive to Sweetie. In fact, after we got Honey, Craig said that Sweetie was an ugly old hag. I think he was mostly mad at her because she kept moving around while we were trying to milk her. Anyhow, we like her and are excited to have little baby goats this spring!
Also, on a funny side note, the other day, Roxy, our dog, was hassling Honey and she she charged her right in the buns! It was hilarious! Roxy whimpered off and hasn't given her any trouble since.
