Rachel

This morning Joyce and I made a trip up to see Lisa and her daughter Hallie Thyr and I picked up a new Alpine Dairy goat.  This way I can stagger my breeding and have fresh milk year round.  Dad's small truck in broke right now and its been so hot to haul her home in the back of a truck in the sun and I really did not want to pull an 18ft goose neck trailer up there for one goat, so this is how she made the ride.
In the back of my SUV LOL  Here are a couple more pics of her once I got her in the barn.

So now I am either going to have to find me a buck to breed them to or find a closer breeder.  The lady that is going to breed Mona for me this fall is quite a drive, but I  really want some Toggenburg babies so will be worth the drive.  Dad is not a goat a fan at ALL but the good Lord blessed and I was able to get up there and get her in the barn without him knowing yet.  So maybe I will safe for a little longer.  You really never know what your going to see when it comes to me huh?  God Bless Dustin!

    Ha! See! Everyone IS talking goats these days!!! (take a look at my latest blog post) She is a lovely girl. You ARE blessed to have your own source of goat milk! It doesn't seem strange to me to move livestock in the back of an SUV - several of my friends, some who have stock trailers and some who don't, frequently move one or two sheep or alpacas in their SUV. What amazes me is how calmly the animals take it - especially when you figure some of the 'nothing' stuff that might freak them out at home! ha-ha

    Welcome home, Rachel!
