The Good Samaritan

We should help others when and if we can, right? The young lady I bought my three Nubian goats from needed a place to stay until she is back on her feet and she needed a place for her goats. Her father has a fifth wheel trailer that she could park in the meadow near the farm house and the goats can go in the pen with my new ones, since they were hers to begin with. I didn't know there were a whole lot of bottle babies, about 14 or so, plus the one little buckling I purchased, which I feed. The adult goats have not yet arrived and due to a serious problem, they may all be sold outright and never arrive. I do hope that does not happen for the sake of the young lady who loves her goaties and had a cheese making business from their milk. The fifth wheel trailer got parked in the meadow this afternoon and the young lady should be here soon enough. Her father has made ready things for her and must go back to work shortly. He is going to set up a 7 foot fence around the old tennis court for her dogs since Robbie, my border collie, does not like other dogs on his farm. The livestock guardian dogs do not mind the female dog, but have not yet met the male. I would not prefer them to run free. 9 dogs is too many!

Anyhow, I am happy to help and I hope the stay at the Fat Ewe relieves some of the pressure on her until she gets on her feet. That is the least one can do, and no, I did not know this lady until I went to buy goats from her. Welcome to the Fat Ewe Farm 4 legged and two legged guests.

the adult Nubian I purchased is the nanny to the kids, all of them! They are bottle fed. Their mothers are left behind and due to some problems, may never get here. These little faces are the first to welcome anyone who comes to the farm gate. Sweet little goaties!
