Good news....our goats are getting fat....even O'Malley who isn't pregnant. I spent some time sitting and watching our gals on Sunday morning in hopes of capturing a Dwarf Nigerian run on tape. The difference between Dwarf Nigerians and our Fainting...

If you all will remember, I had told you the story of our little fainting goat buck's first attempt at procreation.....in a nutshell, he attempted to mount and dropped over in a faint. Well, the good news is......HE DID IT!!! Three of our females,...

I have wonderful video footage of these girls playing on their see-saw....up and down and playfully ramming each other, however my video was shot with too high a resolution and I cannot upload it. (Note to self: reset camera and get some IT help to see...

Registration Time
Our babies are all grown up now.
They are weaned and living without their parents.
It all happens so quickly.
Now that they are teenagers, it is time to register them.
We register our goats with the
International Fainting Goat Registry
and the Myotonic Goat Registry.
In order to do this we have to take very specific photos.
They must include a picture of each complete side,
with at least one complete face shot,
and a picture of each of them fainting.
Becky and I spent a morning getting these pictures
but had no cooperation in the fainting department.

It's funny, because they faint all the time....
just not on command!
Fred
Our babies are so friendly,
that it is nearly impossible for Becky or I to startle them
enough to cause a "faint".
Sally
This weekend we are having guests.
That may be the perfect time to get "fainting" photos.
Strangers are more likely to produce the desired response.
Stay tuned next week for "Goats that Faint"!
**************************************************
Here is one of our older goats, Myrtle.
This box that she is sitting in used to have a tree planted in it.
That is until the goats ate it!
Now it is a raised Goat bed!
I am not sure what the attraction is,
but they all take turns lying here.
Odd!
