Last Friday I got a text from a guy selling goat bottle babies at a steal. He had five bucklings and I said I'd take all five. So I lowered the back seat in my Pilot, laid down a tarp, loaded Micaiah in the back and went for a road trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The road to Fayetteville was hilly and windy and it took an hour and a half to get there but it was worth it. Micaiah played with her stuffed animals and asked minimal questions. ;)
Adam couldn't make it for the trip and as I hadn't met this guy I took Jesus and some insurance with me. ;)
Everything was easy and above board and I left with these noisy guys.
I have it on good authority that I'm crazy. I have no issue with that. ;) We got them home and fed them. I'm probably going to sell three and buy a doe in milk because milk supplement is stupid expensive. While I was gone Adam fenced in a garden for me and put the piglets in to till up the soil. We added the kids and a couple chickens, hopefully to teach the piglets not to eat them. The piglets aren't tilling fast enough so I'm going to move them and put one of the big guys in. Here's Micaiah being cute! Today I told her that everyone is good at different things. She replied, "Kind of like I'm good at being cute?" Yup. ;)
