MN's Goats

As promised I managed to get some pictures of MN's goat herd. Of the 9 she brought in last night she lost on. Not a bad amount when you consider the quality. This was one of her "free" angoras. It wasn't the one we both thought would be dead or at least not up. She had one that couldn't stand up last night. That one is walking today. I found out all these angoras had quite a ride before they got to the sale barn. They are from Arkansas! The truck broke down a couple of times, blew 4 tires....... So they were stressed and tired and had been hauled a long time. I hope that the rest make it. They all seem to be pretty good. This is three of her new ones. As you can see they like that feed! That is a good sign. Only 2 of them didn't get up there to eat. The grown nanny and the Spanish kid. They don't seem to know what feed is. Here is MN moving one of her goats to it's new home. Doesn't it look like it leads well?
The bigger goat is one we raised last year that MN claims. The other two are our last bottle babies. She claims them also. She did do most of the bottling so I guess her claiming them is fine.
This outstanding herd is her herd she has collected already from the auction barns. They are really looking pretty good. I hope she is ready to sell most, (all) of them in Jan. when the prices go up. That is her plan.... if she doesn't get to attached.
