we're talking of getting goats to clear brush. we'd like to bring some new land into production for next year, but we need it cleared first and goats are very good at that. plus, they'll bring fertility to the farm, and we can milk them. we drink goat's milk, and i've made paneer out of it too, which is great. anyway, it just happens that some of our friends are thinking of selling their goats, so it's perfect. two females, and a male, and one female is pregnant and will give birth in april.
on saturday, we went to our friends' house to feed and water the goats - just practicing, i guess...
these are Shamus and Vera (Vera is pregnant)

and this is Folly

they're oberhossies, a swiss type of goat. that's about all i know....

luka,
I love the goats. I always wished i had goats. Don't know why.
If they are Swiss goats they've to be great!!! Only quality stuff comes out of Switzerland... just joking.
i thought they'd be great too...you know those Swiss!
unfortunately i think i misspelled their type, isn't it supposed to be oberhasli?
