Today I want to talk about goats.
So I am getting two goats next year. Actually in the spring. Their names are going to be Prince and Daisy.
Prince is a peer-bred Lamancha neutered male. I found him at Lolly Pop Farm in Rochester, NY.
A Lamancha goat is a very docile breed. They are a non-meat goat. They are a dairy breed, but Prince is a male so we can't milk him. We can't breed him because he is fixed.
When we went to LollyPop Farm, Prince immediately came over to me and wanted me to pet him and walked with me and followed me around.
I would like to find a Saanan breed. I will name her Daisy. I would like to find one in milk. That means that I would be able to get milk from her right away. If she isn't in milk, then I would have to breed her and after she had a baby, then she would give milk. I would cross her with a Lamancha buck.
Goats can be out in cold weather. Even down to 12 degrees. They don't like to be wet though.
Goats sleep about 5 hours a day. Dogs sleep about 10 hours a day.
When I get my goats, I will post pictures on my blog.
Have a Merry Christmas from Daniels Fresh Eggs!
