Sheep and goats

On April 29th we had our first goats delivered. We decided to have them stay with our friends Mary & Kevin for awhile. These goats are Boer/Kiko mix (meat goat). The first picture is Penny (Nanny) and her baby Snowflake.



This next picture is the 2 babies Snowflake and Cream (her mama is Peaches and I couldn't get a good picture of her).





The sheep got here on May 2. We got electric netting for our yard to house them and we put that up the Tuesday before. That saturday morning I went out to check on it and it was all saggy. I called customer service and asked how they get it to stand up and she told me we needed to mow the grass really short and then pull the fencing really tight.

So in the pouring rain and thunder Eric and I and my father were out in the yard mowing a path to put the fence in. We finally got it finished about 15 minutes after the sheep arrived. We were soaked to the skin, but we got it accomplished.


On May 8 we got Erica, our Alpine milk goat. She was born on Eric's birthday (hence the name). She is extremely friendly and loves to be around us. Tanner just loves her.








Here she was meeting the sheep for the first time.
