Goat Rescue
Last Thursday my daughters rescued two female goats; these poor things were so starved every bone showed and they are stunted in their growth.
So now we have two goats.
The Darlings!
I contacted Peggy http://hiddenhavenhomestead.blogspot.com/ and asked her a ton of questions, and then we did everything she suggested. Today, Wednesday, we are seeing marked improvement, they have a cud, their energy level is improving, and their fur is starting to look a little better.
They are so sweet; the grandchildren love to have them with them at all times, but being on a leash isn’t the best for everyone.
Yesterday was spent goat proofing the horse corral, and then we will expand the horse goat corral into the calf pens so they will have lots of room. They sleep in the barn, to be safe from the predators, but most of the time they live under the trampoline playing house and video games.

Lucky goats! They are cute ones for sure and I know they will flourish under the great care they will get in their new home!

Yeah ladies!! Glad the goats had two smart girls that saved them.
Hope everyone enjoys the new adventure. It’s great to hear the grandkids have taken such an interest in their education. (playing house and video games)
Sounds like you are busy like normal. Hope you get some dry sunny days for the hay to dry. Looking at the weather for Idaho, we have acouple more storm systems that are coming through for the next 5 days. Hope they miss you.

How precious are they!!! I love goats!
hope they will continue to heal with all the TLC they are given!! I am sure that all the playing house and video games is one of the best medicines for them. Cant wait to see how they grow!

So glad they were there to save them. Animals have such sad, sad stories. It’s very hard for me.

Awww, what cute little things! That’s so sweet and I bet they’ll bounce right back and soon be into everything

I’m so glad to meet you! I’m also glad that you rescued those goats – I bet they’ll be glad, too. They are so sweet looking. I’d love to have some. Perhaps one day…

Do you understand that playing house means more goats?? esp. under a trampoline…. and letting them play video games will make them want to listen to rap and steal your car….

Oh my boys would love these! We have to come visit your farm some day! I’m sorry I’ve been absent, I left a post on my blog explaining everything.
Kathy - May 28, 2009 at 1:30 am
Good luck with your projects! Playing house and video games.
Leenie - May 28, 2009 at 12:40 am
That’s where I would be, LOL!

How wonderful for you. Where in Colorado are you? We’re near north Denver. I’ve been “following” your blog for a while, but it’s been several months since I’ve had a chance to read postings. Glad I did. And glad the goats get a new chance. Thanks! Vikki at http://www.homesteadingbasics.blogspot.com

How sweet is that. I visit Peggy too. She would know considering all the goats she has. She is always adopting something. She is so sweet and so are you. Lucky things… playing video games (o:

Who knew goats played video games?!
Looks like a fun new adventure for you. Hope they don’t end up nibbling away at the trampoline! I wish I had room for goats or something….someday.
