@Dogma - Ginger and Nutmeg are both sooo loverly. It really may be a good thing if Nutmeg isn't bred. since she's so small. Plus if they kid at different times, their milk won't stop at the same time. That leaves you with milk for longer. I hope to stagger my kidding times for that very reason.
I am desperate for a/some does(lings), but alas, the only opportunities I seem to be having right now are for bucks. I wouldn't mind having a couple more wethers around, 'cause ANY goat is a GREAT goat, you know. DH is dead set against it right now, but my elder son is gonna try to convince him to let us get another wether that REALLY needs a new home. We'll see, after all it is Christmas and money is beyond scarce, so something FREE might be just the ticket.
Besides, it's not like they cost that much to maintain (yet). We're gonna be doing testing in Jan/Feb, but not planning on doing unnecessary shots, so the only real expense is the hay, and we get it cheap from the farm my boys work at. We will be planting our own as soon as we can. We're gonna grow as much of what we need as we possibly can, so that brings food costs down to something truly negligible. I'm just really looking forward to having does and kids and MILK and cheese and yoghurt and...anywho, you see what I mean.

I gotta say, them thar goats sho is rotten! Yup, ya do everthin fur em an they makes a big ol mess tu thenk ya. Stinkin rotten is wut they is. Mah boys is rotten, too.
Honestly, they can and will get into any mess possible and many you would swear were NOT possible. When Janick and Jaeger were smaller, they got loose in the garage a couple of times and started climbing all over everything. Such brats! And yes, I love them, too. How can you NOT love them? They're awesome.
