Tim the Enchanter and Checkers short for Chupacabra have arrived. Well done Earie.

Awwww! Congrats!

Cute kids you've got there. :D

that's Tim in the foreground of the first pic?

Way to go, Gramps. :thumb:

twins! They are darling.

Actually Tim has the floppy ears. The pics need a do-over since you can't tell that Tim is a large male and Chupa er checkers is a delicate female. Thanks for the congrats!

Awesome, Griff!

Yeah goatlies!:)

I had a goat dream once.

Those are some mighty good looking goats ya got there, Lou.

I get the feeling there's a story (and the need for some therapy) there.


:D

Why don't we commonly eat goats in this country? I'm hungry...

"You are what you eat?"

Cover the babies' ears, Griff - curried goat (note, never goat curry) is delicious. Goat is sold over here in halal butchers and Afro-Caribbean shops.

Congrats on your beautiful new arrivals.
Mum housesits for a family with goats. She hates them :) She says they are bullies and possessed by the devil. I think it's a combination of the spooky eyes and the fact they butt her.

I guess I really AM a dick, then.

There is curried goat in many Indian restaurants here.

Everyone around here eats goat - thanks to the fact that so many native Americans and Hispanics live in this region. I've eaten goat a couple of times and wasn't impressed - to me the goat flavor was just too strong. Goat in a curry might work, tho.

I am trying to get the girls comfortable with the cabrito idea but am failing. As far as goat morals go Sundae...

I'll get the fire going...

I am not liking the burning goat hair smell. Yes today was Tim's disbudding. Don't google it if you are weak of stomach or a petatarian.

Thing you never hear baby goats say: "No, no, I can't right now. I'm going over here to have a red hot poker shoved into my skull."

Okay. No horns. (And, it appears) No little slim jim. What keeps 'em from committing suicide?

Weiner schnitzel is intact. The clamps are for the umbilical cords.

The house is no fun, nothing to eat and not big enough to jump up on the table. :haha: I like the chairs though and the floor planks.

They'll be more trouble in a few days. We drank our first fresh goat milk in a long time this morning! No after-taste probably due the the convenient snow bank cooler. Love that little goat.

Retired guys should probably start a goat dairy near the city...

Isn't goat milk supposed to be better for you than cows milk? I can't remember the reason, though.

Well, at least he can still get horny.:o

IGF1 is identical in humans and cows.

How cute! You could probably get a couple good sandwiches out of each of them already!

Goat's milk also has vastly less casein (1-2% in goat's milk versus 80% in cow's milk,) which is the most difficult protein to digest in all milks.

Very cute!!!! Even if they don't seem much for cuddling.

Sure but why waste the opportunity, stuffed with bacon and feta they'd both fit nicely inside a turkey.

But if you wait till they're grown, you might be able to buy a second wife.;)

I've got 3 girls in the house right now. 4! are you high?
