Piggy Goats

Once again, we have expanded the herd! Isabel is the latest addition to our barnyard family. An 8 week old pygmy goat with a beautiful snow white coat and big gold green eyes. But don't let this dainty little lady fool you... she has no problem holding her own against the much larger Duke and Clementine! In the photo below, you can see how they are doing some individual expanding of their own. Sometimes they seem more like piggys than pygmys. The older goats took to the new little girl right away. Well, almost right away, after a bit of barnyard instruction on the rules of the herd and other important things for a new young goat to know. But, quickly enough, they were all getting along well. In fact, the first night they were all cuddled together against the early fall chill.
