So, after multiple years of dreaming and hoping and building, I am finally bringing home goats in the next few weeks. Possibly as soon as this week, I'm not quite sure yet. I've researched my butt off, I've had a few moments where I thought "I'm insane, I can't do this, goats are too hard" and I've learnt more about bloat and worms and goat udders than I ever thought possible. I'm a bit nervous but at least I have a goat-savvy friend to help quell my fears. Here's hoping I don't kill them by accident in the first week. 
This is the first goat, an Alpine doe (in milk) that's about three years of age. Her name is Lucy. Ignore the Nigerian Dwarf photobombers, they're not coming home with me.
Here's the second, another Alpine girl named Lexie. She's the black with white markings that's most prominent/in focus in the image. This is an old image, she's about 6--8 weeks old now.
This is their new home. It's 6' x 8' if I remember correctly. An electric net fence has been set up in the back since the image was taken. It [the fence] isn't fully operational yet, but I'll be keeping them inside for the first bit anyway.
Anyway, hopefully within the next few weeks I'll have some pictures of them settled in and happy. I'm sure I'll be bugging you guys with more questions than you care to answer, so get ready
