With one goat kid on the ground and more on the way, we thought it might be a good idea to have a dairy goat on hand in case the need for extra milk arises. So, off I went to peruse the classified ads on Craig’s List. What do you know? A gal not far from here was in need of some cash after her teenage daughter had a fender-bender car accident. She did indeed have a yearling Nubian dairy goat who had been bred to a pure Saanen dairy goat. She was due to have her first kid within the next month. I made arrangements to meet at her house the next afternoon, and off we went.
Annie, as she is called, was raised on a bottle herself and is much smaller than other goats of her breed. She also knows her name and is a very friendly little girl. We had a great visit with the gal, who has even more animals than I do! Her own web site is Jen’s Funny Farm where you can see some entertaining pictures of her Fainting goats. I pointed out to JW that I had a long way to go to catch up with a gal who has emus and llamas. What a lucky boy he is that I tend to stick with the traditional livestock – named and loved and spoiled, nonetheless!
She certainly does know her name, and will follow me like a puppy. She is not as rough and tumble as the “field crew” and spent her first night in the chicken coop until we built her a proper pen in the yard the next day. As befits such a beautiful face, her favorite treats are the myriad of wildflowers throughout the yard. It will take quite a lot of that pretty charm though to offset the enormous amount of belching and grunting from such a dainty little girl! I take her out into the yard a couple of times during the day to graze. If she were loose, she would head straight for the newly-planted trees so I keep her on a length of rope, and stake her out to a tire to keep her in one area at a time.
JW also picked out another goat at Jen’s Farm, Charlotte, who had twin boys at her side. I was a little apprehensive at first about throwing Charlotte into the big pen since our initial gang can be pretty rowdy and like to head butt each other around.

Blue has appointed himself as the official goat guardian dog, and will even sleep next to the goat pens at night.
