Learning about goats!

Last Thursday or Friday, my cousin announced that their goat had twin kids! So Saturday morning, we headed out to see the goats! We learned alot about goats, drank goat milk and of course ooh'ed and ah'ed to our heart's content. Here are some pictures:


Mac and the little boy goat.


George with the little girl...


Bob with the little boy...


The daddy....


This is not the momma, somehow I missed getting a pic of the momma.


Yeah....I loved the goats. What can I say? I am a country girl, my heart longs to be there again!




I was really proud of Lil Mr. With his sensory issues, he doesn't usually like to touch new things. But his love for animals won over!



I think this is my favorite pic!







We LOVED the milk! Would so love to have our own milking goats! I hadn't tasted goat's milk in about 20 years. The last experience I had was horrible. But...I am always willing to try again and I was pleasantly surprised! These goats are Nubian and apparently that is the best milk. I had to agree!

I think Lil Mr went back for seconds!

Feeding time. This was the first pregnancy for their momma and she rejected them. 
So our cousins are having to bottle feed them.
