In an attempt to keep Sarah the goat in the goat pen, I installed some net wrap on the outside of the fence. Well, well, goat with horns do not seem to do well with net wrap. Poor little Taffy was crying for help, so I went over to see what was wrong. There she was with her horns completely wrapped up in the net wrapping, which she had completely wrapped around her horns. Taffy is a quiet, shy goat, very tiny with a blue stripe in her eye, as does her sister have as well. Taffy, Cocoa and Cookie are all miniature Nigerian Dwarf goats. Nigerian Dwarf goats are small, but this trio is very much smaller. Each one is a sweet natured and quite shy, but warms up to people rather quickly and they also have a good dose of curiosity.
Taffy was freed with my handy pair of scissors, which I keep in my pocket for such purposes and she looked at me indignantly as if to say, "Don't do that to me again." I kept a close on the rest of the goats for the remainder of the day, including Sarah, who did not attempt to jump the fence and get herself tangled in the netting, at least not today. Goats are such characters and so much fun. I can't wait to see the babies from these little ones. They are bred to an Angora buck, so the babies will have curly locks. Too cute.
