Lisa, I just saw this thread. He is so sweet. Are you planning on making cheese, or soap? Are you planning to get any other animals?

For some reason, he looks like a Freddie to me.

I absolutely adore goats. So much personality and boundless energy wrapped up in their little frames! When I was a teen I used to go to a local campground with my friend a couple of times a year to ride their horses. One time I took a bag with me that had all sorts of things in it (grooming brush, saddle soap, curry comb, etc., as they never took care of their horses, so I just wanted to pamper them a bit). Went out for a ride that day, came back and went to get my bag...and discovered that the contents were strewn absolutely everywhere. The goats found it and had a party...oh, and the saddle soap...the only thing left was one tiny corner of a bar, with tooth marks in it. The goats thought it was a treat, and chowed down.

For some crazy reason, Buckwheat just popped into my mind the second I saw him. What a cutie! Billy is a great name, especially if he goes by the last name of Goat instead of your last name.

I just like names that are easy to call, lol. We actually got Billie a little girl who is just like him. They walk of together all the time and sleep in the same Igloo. I told my DH we should have named them Mike and Lisa...Jrs.

We are trying to have a herd of mini goats and we want to sell the babies as pets.

Ha, ha...yes they are mischievous but so fun to watch.





Thank you all. So far we have Billy, then we picked up 3 more. A mother, Mama, and her baby Cocoa(crazy Cocoa as she loves jumping all over things and flipping in the air), Angel is Billy's match Last week we added two sisters Oreo and Shadow. Tomorrow we may pick up two more babies. Billy is going to be a busy boy, lol.

On that note...Billy is soooo calm and mellow that I think we should have named him Bob Marley

Ha, ha...all the babies love laying in the bowls. It must be a comfort thing, lol. This morning Billy was laying in one while Angel was still eating out of it, lol.

Hmm...never heard of jigidi. I'll have to see how it works.
