The goaties are 18 months old and ready to become the dairy goats that they
were bred to be. Before there can be milk and cheese, however, there must be a buck
and, five months later, some baby kids! Since we don’t want to live with a
stinky and (if you ask me) ugly buck all year, Meels and Blueberry will have to
settle for a very quick and unromantic date. If these two are as fertile as
goats are reputed to be, that’s all it will take.
I’ve
put in a call to the Nigerian breeder that I bought the goaties from who has a
buck or two that are unrelated. In the meantime, maybe I could enroll them on a
goat-dating site. Maybe there’s a fruitful-flock.com, caprine-match.com, or goat-harmony.com.
Of course, I’d post this photo taken when they were younger and thinner and had less facial hair!
