More on New Goats


The concencus is they are a Nubian/Boer mix. The black one is the wether (castrated male) and the brown and white one the doe. The wether is scared to death of dogs and electric fences. I have to take them to the vet today because the wether escaped his quarantine yesterday and got in with my other goats. Hopefully they don't have anything contagious. While on the loose he also visited our new chicks and ducklings we are brooding on the porch. He knocked the heat lamp off of one of the cages and this is what the boys and I came home to came home to...

The porch was actually on fire! The scary part is we were actually planning on picking Stef up at the airport much later in the evening and were going to stay at Mom and Dads about 6 more hours. The house would have been up in flames by then! Niko wanted to name the wether Midnight, but I think Firestarter or Trouble is much more fitting.

We are pretty sure they are okay. No major apparent problems anyway.
