4 new goats!!

Well guess what, we got some new goats. 4 beautiful Alpine/Nubian (Nupine) cross doe kids that were born early this year. Yes, they all have horns - but, they were just given to us (along with about 30 chickens) and they are really nice does so they are going to be a "project." My sister plans on using the banding method to remove their horns. If you would be interested in reading more about the banding method on horns the you can go to my sisters blog  - http://goodgoats.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-goats.html . 

Here are some pictures of them! They are all very friendly, which is nice!!

Tulsa State Fair

Well, sorry for not posting for a long time. We have been really busy for the past few weeks. My oldest sister showed some rabbits at the Tulsa State Fair this past weekend. So, we went to the fair yesterday, it was pretty interesting there. There was one barn there that had tons of rabbits in it, in another barn there were a lot of cows, and in another barn there were many, many boer goats. In the same barn that the rabbits were in there was a mini petting zoo, and on the other side of the petting zoo there was a birthing center. The birthing center was VERY interesting, they had a live dog C-section going on in a room with glass walls and a video on the outside. They also had a section with a few goats and sheep that had birthed at the fair or were still pregnant.

Here are some pictures -
