Last Thursday my daughters rescued two female goats; these poor things were so starved every bone showed and they are stunted in their growth.
So now we have two goats.
The Darlings!
I contacted Peggy http://hiddenhavenhomestead.blogspot.com/ and asked her a ton of questions, and then we did everything she suggested. Today, Wednesday, we are seeing marked improvement, they have a cud, their energy level is improving, and their fur is starting to look a little better.
They are so sweet; the grandchildren love to have them with them at all times, but being on a leash isn’t the best for everyone.
Yesterday was spent goat proofing the horse corral, and then we will expand the horse goat corral into the calf pens so they will have lots of room. They sleep in the barn, to be safe from the predators, but most of the time they live under the trampoline playing house and video games.

They are so precious and have found a loving home. You are going to have some awesome goat stories to share!

How wonderful for you. Where in Colorado are you? We’re near north Denver. I’ve been “following” your blog for a while, but it’s been several months since I’ve had a chance to read postings. Glad I did. And glad the goats get a new chance. Thanks! Vikki at http://www.homesteadingbasics.blogspot.com

Do you understand that playing house means more goats?? esp. under a trampoline…. and letting them play video games will make them want to listen to rap and steal your car….

Hi, my name is Sharon Totsch and I am currently a student at the University of
Wyoming. I am persuing a major in animal and veterinary science and a minor in
criminal justice. My hopes are to one day become a vet that works for the humane
society. I have worked at numerous vet clinics and ranches in the past. This
year I would really like to get a summer job working for a humane society and
possiable doing my internship there. I was wondering if you offerened anything
like this or knew of anyone who did. I have an extream interest in goats and other ruminants. You can contact me at littletoast900@yahoo.com if you know of anything.
Thanks,
Sharon
