The Arrival of New Goats + 1 pig

We recently purchased a small flock of goats and one pig to add to the entourage of animals here on Providence Prairie. One of the kids was full of energy as we rounded them up to load. He was doing acrobatics by balancing on the pig's back. One goat is a full blooded Alpine nanny, which happen to be very good milk goats. Mixed in the lot was one Pygmy nanny, small, shaggy, and cute. The rest are Alpine/Nubian crosses, so they should produce milk well and have a little higher butterfat content in their milk than the Alpine, as Nubians are prized for their high butterfat. Three of them came with babies, and three are yet to deliver. Baby goats are a joy to be around! Watching them run and frolic together puts a smile upon anyone's face. All of the equine were very curious as to what was playing in the pen beside them- especially Spanky Hank. He didn't know quite what to do when we introduced him to one of the pygmy kids!



The goats are all settled in and cozy warm, having become comfortable in their new home. We welcome them all to Providence Prairie!
