Getting Pygmy Goats

Today I got a couple of Pygmy goats from a lovely lady in a neighboring town. I have raised Myotonic (fainting) goats in the past, but have always wanted to raise Pygmies. After looking for a few weeks. I came across this pair for a great price and just had to have them! 

Here they are, riding home in the back seat of my truck. 

After I got home and turned them loose in the pasture, I realized just how big the pasture is. The goats look so tiny standing at the gate. Remember, this pasture used to house 11 horses. Now there are only 2 little goats out there. That means they have the whole field and barn to themselves.

I have named them Fred and Ethel. I think it suits them.

Here is Fred looking confused. He is probably wondering why I keep following him with the camera.

And here is a photo of Ethel. She is a sweet animal and loves to be scratched between the horns.

Here is my little boy Gabriel (2 1/2 years old) checking out the new goats. He laughed and tried to give his Hot Wheels car to Fred.

I have to go to the feed store and get more chicken feed right now, but I will post updates and new photos when I get a moment.
