Meet Rachel's new babies!



Introducing Patrick and Margaret (we call them Paddy and Maggie). We drove to a dairy farm in Mendocino County on St. Patrick's day. The are Nigerian goat so will stay tiny. Patrick will be a wether (fixed) and Maggie will be a dairy goat next year after she has her first litter (goats usually have twins!) They are both on the bottle and are so affectionate. Rachel is clearly "mommy" in their goat brains. Everytime she even looks like she might leave their yard they start crying for her. They sleep in a dog crate on her bed at night so far. But this will have to end soon!
