baby goats!

This is not an art post, but I thought I'd share some adorable photos I took yesterday. A friend invited me and my sis to a relative's farm where they breed pygmy goats. It was an amazing place, a family farm with so many animals and a few new babies!

Billies, two timid alpacas, a mom and her babies

These were the youngest ones, they were hopping around and trying out their legs

this one liked to give kisses

these people had at least three pieces of taxidermy in every room, I swear. It was sort of funny how excited even their twelve-year-old daughter was about shooting things. She went
out in the snow in her socks to shoot at magpies with a nerf gun when we were over.

There was a puppy, too.
I didn't know how friendly goats could be, but the ones who were born and raised on the farm were so well socialized they would come up and rub against you like a dog. They were so sweet, I wish I could have a pet goat!
