Well, they have really settled in and are truly part of the herd now. They do like their own space though and, when it comes to feeding time, they won't let any goats with 'normal' ears eat out of the same trough. Goats with long floppy ears are, apparently, fine to eat next to them! Goat racism ..
They do actually come into the parlour for their food occasionally and we have discovered that they both enjoy a scratch on their shoulders. Lara is particularly fond of it and goes all silly ... Allow me to demonstrate with a little video clip:
Always brings a smile to my face!
And, at the other end of the goatie spectrum, we have a little white chap who has been a bit poorly recently. Poor Skippy had a terrible chest infection and, although we managed to sort that out, he was looking very thin and sorry for himself. So, although all our babies are now weaned, I decided that he should be given a couple of bottles of milk every day to try and build him back up again. All those lovely natural probiotics and enzymes had to be good for a poorly wee goatie ..
And it seems to be doing the trick! Skippy is getting bigger and stronger every day but is still looking for his bottle of milk at feeding times ... And here he is:
Such a sweetie!
