New Goats

We have 8 new baby goats and more expected any day. Two sets of twins born Saturday, triplets born Friday, and a single born earlier this week. All are well, so far 7 males and one female.
I had misplaced the camera but found it today! I'll get some pictures up soon.

Meet Bill & Molly

Yes, that's right folks, here are the first animals on the Rocking K Ranch. Picking them up was a trick. First we went to see them, their owners weren't home but a tenant was present and he said it would be ok to take them and he would hold the money. Konrad seemed to believe him but we needed a pen to put on our trailer to haul them in. Tenant suggested hog tying them and putting in the back of our car, which we politely declined. So off we headed to a friend's house to borrow her great dane dog crate. Well she wasn't home, but Konrad thought it would be ok to take it anyway...from their back yard...inside a chain link fence which also contained a pit bull. I did not know this at the time because I stayed in the front yard to keep the boys out of the fish pond and to protect a sweet cat that thought it would be a good idea to let a 3 year old get close enough to pet it. We soon loaded the trailer and were rounding up the boys when who should drive up, you guessed it, the owner of said trailer! Caught red-handed! It was a bit embarrassing, but we took the pen anyway. So we drove back to the goats and Konrad and tenant wrestled Molly into the pen. Bill was happy to go, he just followed the can of feed. That was about the end of the excitement. We enjoyed watching the goats as we drove down the road. So now we have 2 goats! and we are fairly certain that Molly is pregnant and soon we will have 3, 4 or 5 goats. I'll keep you posted and will surely post pics if we have any babies.
