- some new goats

Yesterday afternoon we had some new Spanish goats delivered.  We purchased 2 pregnant nannies and 2 yearling does from Montgomery Farms in Northern Indiana.  This breed was brought to the Americas several hundred years ago so they are considered more of a heritage breed - vice the Boers who were brought to the U.S. in 1993.  It is our hope that this different breed will prove to be healthier mothers and more parasite resistant.  They are nowhere near as friendly as our Boer goats, but we have enough pets; we simply want goats to thrive and reproduce well.
As you can see, they have not completely lost all of their winter coat.
