New additions

I haven’t written in awhile. Things have been so hectic and so much going on that I don’t think I could have settled my thoughts down long enough to write if I wanted to. On August 4th we met with Steve in MO to pick up our Angora goat does. They had quite a trip coming all the way from the humid mountains of northern GA to the dry windy plains of KS.
The trip was filled with happiness, excitement, and sadness as Steve had a tragedy on the way in Tenn. A semi came to close to his truck catching the cage in the back of his truck that held the goats killing one doe. But all the others made it safe and sound and they have now been here for 3 weeks and are doing well! I couldn’t be happier with them. They are beautiful and Steve did a wonderful job picking them out for me. He felt soo bad about what happened to the one doe, but life goes on and we have two of her daughters to replace her.
I was soo excited to meet Steve. We had been close friends for so long and to see him in MO was an awesome opportunity. I grieved when I had to tell him good bye, but not before we had some good laughs in Wal-Mart parking lot while DH tried to fix the tail lights on the truck. We ended up having to drive home with the hazards on.
Everyone made it back home safe and sound, but boy were we whipped when we got home on Sunday! We put the girls into their new home, waited for the others to introduce themselves, and then we went and passed out in the bed for about 4 or 5 hours that day. It had been a 16 hour drive non-stop.
And so becomes our venture in Angora goats. We’ll be excited to see what our buck Awesome throws with these new girls. We also have plans on perhaps getting a Pygmy buck to cross with young does to size down their kids and to have some cutsie Pygoras for people for pets.
