Pics of my goats (PIC HEAVY)

My babies were born on May 24th 2008 (I think that's the correct date)  They're triplet sisters.  They're names are Misty, Stormy and Rain.  I brought them home towards the end of July.  They were so small they all three fit in one 2'x3' dog crate...with room to spare!  They didn't like us one lil bit when we brought them home.  They would holler like they were being killed if we were able to catch them and hold them.

Here's pictures from when they first came home:

After a while Rain (aka Raindrop) was the first to warm up to me.  I won her over mostly with scratches on her back.  Then Misty showed me some kindness and Stormy, well Stormy doesn't really like to be touched much.  I get to scratch Stormy's back when she's eating and not paying much attention to me.

Here's more pictures:

I admit I never have had a goat before but those 3 really do make me want one now LOL

They were very skinny when I got them.  You could feel their spine and hips.  They're perfect weight now.  Nigerians look fatter than most other goats because they're so short.  They have the body of a regular sized goat on short lil legs.  It seems they've put on weight here in the past month, probably for the winter.

You should get a couple.  They're fun to watch when they play.
