Baby Goats!

        I can not believe it has come full circle and I am now buying my children goats! It seems like just yesterday my parents were buying us (my brothers and sister and I) little kids our first goats :)  Growing up we always had goats around. They are so cute and they are great to have around to tame down areas of your property that have weeds and such that you want to keep under control. Lots of people milk them as well and there are tons of things you can do with their milk. We tried milking for a bit when I was kid but it is A LOT of work and it is a big time commitment. You have to milk them twice a day at the same times so or else it becomes painful for them and you don't want the milk supply to dry up. Anyways to much for me right now.

          So we got them to get control of some blackberries we have in one of our fields. Now before you call me crazy for not picking them and eating them let me tell you a few things. First off I don't like them lol. Second they are actually quite a pest of a plant over here. They will literally take over complete areas of your land. They grow so big and so fast! They have the sharpest spikes ever on them to! I got cut several times while we were moving and literally have scars on my legs from them! Nasty little things lol. Third there a many different types of blackberries and the ones in our field are quite bitter. They would be good for jams but I don't have the energy for that right now. Besides there are plenty of them left elsewhere on the property for that :)

         Any who here are some pictures of the cute little buggers. They are brother and sister. My Boys are madly in love with them :)

So the goats are in heaven since they have tons of untouched green grass and blackberries all to their little selves :) They won't be little for long though! We are still working on names right now. I will update you on that when we decide :)
