This past week I have been spending my time with these two cute little boys.


Patches and Gizmoe ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden )

They are 4 month old Fainting goat wethers (geldings in horse talk). I use to raise Fainting goats and haven't had any around for 2yrs now. They are really sweet natured goats. They are like potato chips. You can't have just one or none. Since we sold all of our goats we have had an empty spot in our hearts. It seemed that when we were out and about we would see goats and crane our necks to see what they looked like. Or pull over to get a better look.
So we figured we better get two of our own and we wouldn't be running off the road to see others goats.
I am teaching them to walk on a lead. They are slowly getting the hang of it. But you end up playing drag a goat at first. I have small halters I use on them so I don't hurt their necks. I found that the walk ease dog head halters work great for these little guys.
I spent all last week revamping our two horse stalls back to being goat stalls. I also made a new small door in the one stall that opens to a small fenced in pasture area. The fence has one strand of electric around the top to keep critters from climbing over the 3ft fence and coming into the barn. I'll post some pic's of my barn renovation later. Well I hope you think these two guys are just to darn cute. One for each of the Grand boys to enjoy.
