It's tough to go wrong with goats on the rocks. This was taken shortly after we got the goats last summer. Before they got bad and started eating things they shouldn't. We use to let them out so they could roam around the property. They would often hang out on the front porch, which can throw off clients who are not animal people. Surprisingly they didn't leave the yard. They seemed to think the woods were dangerous. Also I think they didn't want to get too far away from their dinner time grain. The lilaics were first to go which we could deal with. Then they started working on the apple tree trunks which was not acceptable so they've been locked up ever since.
Then there is the classic winter time picture of goats with coats. They did NOT like their coats but they sure were cute in them. We went down to the local "Second chance" clothing store and bought some used vests for $2-$3 a piece. Some minor adjustments by Caroline made them wearable and the rest is history. One thing I did forget is Stormy (the male), needed an extra hole so he could pee. Oops. We got the straightened out and they seemed to adjust to them without too much difficulty. They use to shake when it was really cold so we figured the coats could only help. No comments from the goats on the color choices.
The last picture, for now, is of Gwendolyn's kittens from last fall. They were very cute and Gwen was the best mom. Fortunately we found homes for all of them. Haven't gotten any reports back on them. Hopefully they are doing well.
