edit: here's the miniaturecow
She looks more like one now that she's a bit older and has put on a few pounds. (lmao, because someone is inevitably going to spread rumors across the internet that there are 2 foot tall cows)



Can't fool me. 'em ain't cows, 'em is goats. ;)

Cute goats! Baby goats are always so cute. If you want to get some ducks or geese in the spring, I can give you ideas. I used to raise many for hobby and profit. Ducks are always funny! I'm experienced in goose psychology and taming the mad goose.

I want a pet fainting goat.

Can you just feed them cat food and train them to use a litter box?

Nice pics!

Don't really like goats though. Is there a way to make them "Not Stink" like what they do to Skunks? j/k

Egads! I'd go broke feeding them cat food. (and, no.) Goat food is far cheaper than cat food. I highly doubt they can be litter box trained. Llamas and alpacas, on the other hand, seem to automatically be trained to go to the bathroom in the same location.

The females don't stink at all. The males, on the other hand, especially in the fall...

Be carefull with goats around vehicles. They will eat the Type-R sticker right off your Civic.

:confused:

Doubley confused as we don't have any of those types of tards in my neck of the woods. :) If ever there was a trade-off for the inconvenience getting to shopping centers, it's that I have *never* heard a car with loud bass out here. (Nor an Amish buggy with kickers in the rear :p )

Looking for names, anyone have suggestions? Okay it's name the goats contest.

Salt and Pepper :)

My kids are leaning toward dot (the girl with a white dot on her forehead) and cowboy (because the boy's color pattern looks like a saddle on his back.)
