Patrick and Smokey

It turns out that the name "Kiaran or Ciaran" just didn't fit for one of our baby goats.  Pickle kept referring to the little black/grey/white goat as "Smokey" so that is now his name.  Here are some pictures from the third trip to see the goats.  J, JJ, Pickle, Mima and Papa went to see them some weeks back.

The goats come to their new "home" the first Saturday of May.  J wrote on that date on the calendar 'Goat Party.'  Farmer J (with some help of my brother) and Mr. Jim- got fencing put up around the pasture.  We have heard that goats are very social and always trying to break free of captivity to find their human family.  Hopefully, the fence will keep them in and safe.  We will keep you updated!

 Here is J with Patrick. 

 Here is Patrick standing on one of the Mama's backs! They do this all the time!

Here is Patrick getting some 'Mama milk.'  The baby goats only drink milk from their mother...despite there being many nursing mama goats in the pen.

What have we gotten ourselves into?! Pretty sure this is Smokey humping Patrick.
