New Goat

   Goldie’s crying finally got too much for us, and probably the neighbors, to take. It wasn't  so much, how much she cried, but when she did cry it wasn't normal. It sounds like a small child being murdered. The breeder was nice enough to take her back but had no goat to trade with us. She had a friend though, that was looking to down size her herd and had a couple of goats that we would be interested in. We dropped off Goldie at the breeder’s house and went to see the other goats. She had a beautiful doe, named Montana, who was two years old and very lovable  We fell in love with her right away. We end up pay for her and the breeder is going to let us use her buck this winter for giving her Goldie. I felt like a kid on the playground trading baseball cards, with all the deals we were making.  We loaded her up in the van and got her home right away. We put her in the pen with Aspen and they got along real quick, with no issues. After a day, we could see them playing by head butting each other. Montana is very beautiful and has a large stature; we think she’ll become the matriarch of the herd.
