Goats and pigs!



On Saturday we added 5 more creatures to our property, 3 goats and 2 pigs. Ben and Leonard built a shed for them to get out of the rain under. They are penned up in it now for a few days so they can get used to us. The goats are boer goats-meat goats. They are cute with their floppy ears thus the names Flopsy, Mopsy, and Peter-two girls and one boy.They are about 4 months old. The pigs are named Babe and Ham Bone. They are both brothers and are about 12 weeks old.
Midnight loves the goats. When she first saw them she wasn't too sure about them. We staked the goats in the yard at first untill we could get the pen ready. Next thing Midnight was laying in the grass with them. It was so cute. Everytime she comes to see the goats with me, the goats run up to meet her and follow her around as she circles the pen. It is funny.
Flopsy on the left and Peter on the right were trying to figure out what a camera was! No it is not something to eat!
