yes, that’s right, we finally got some goats. 2 Pygmy goats. They are the sweetest things and quite entertaining.
This is Jasper, he is a year old. We found him on Craig’s list and drove 2 hours to get him. He rode home in the back seat with my son, they seem to have bonded and are now pretty good buddies. He’s a sweetheart, a bottle fed, people lover. Jasper comes when called and is very loving. Now as you know we like to name our animals after historical figures, well Jasper came with his name and since he responds to it, I decided not to change it, though I did scour the internet till I could find a historical connection it’s slim but it works LOL, Jasper is the name of an Uncle of one of the King Henry’s of England. It is also the English name most associated with one of the 3 wise men of biblical fame (though they are never listed or given names in the bible) the name Jasper in Persian means “treasurer”.
Introducing Amelia, I bought her at a farm auction, and is the reason we got Jasper, she cried and cried and wandered around looking for other goats. We’ve taken her shopping at tractor supply, brought her home in the car and she will walk on a leash, though she is still pretty skittish. Though she is warming up quickly. We believe that she is 4-6months old though not entirely certain as no records came with her. She loves to jump and twirl and follow Jasper around, if he gets to far from her she cries for him. Her name in keeping with the Historical theme is for Amelia Earhart.
