Meet Blossom and Ebany!

Well, we didn't last long.  Everyone told us to be careful when getting into goats because they seem to just appear and multiply in numbers.  My husband and I both said we were fine with just two.  Two would be perfect for us, and no, we were not interested in getting too many.

  Well, now we have four. 

Our friends told us about these two girls for sale, and we just couldn't say no.  They come from exceptional milking backgrounds, and are both already bred.  They will kid in July.

I have to admit, I'm both nervous about this and super excited!
Blossom is the buckskin color Doe in the back and Ebany is our black girl in the front.  They are both sisters and super sweet.

Daisy is meeting Blossom through the wire.  Yes, heads will butt, but I'm sure they will be good friends eventually.

I love Blossom's coat!  She is very curious and is quickly getting to know me.  Both of the new girls are a bit skittish around my daughters right now, but I'm sure it won't take long for those relationships to grow as well.  Baby Gossip was skittish for the first few days too, but now she is as tame as a puppy and demands attention even from my 1 year old.

After a morning of butting heads, I'm glad to see all of them settling down and enjoying some cud.
