My buddy Ren\u00e9 and I drove out to Salam\u00e1 and surrounding areas looking for two milking goats. We’re told that there are heaps of them in a place called Rinc\u00f3n. There was one. So we looked some more and there were a few here and there. We ended having to drive through a river to get the first one, which came with two kids. The second one came from her neighbour who was understandably not willing to part with his 3 milking goats, but did sell us a pregnant one (we believe she’s pregnant anyway). She’s due in December (we think). They are nubians.<\/p>\n

We brought them home, cleared the laundry off the lines and tied them up under our car port for the night. You can see Blaise here, licking his lips.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is Cappuccino Surprise, the pregnant one. She’s timid and a very slow eater. The name comes from Amber and Blaise: Amber thought she had cappuccino colours and when we asked Blaise what we should call her, he said “surprise” because that’s what we called the goats before we took him out to see them. My addition is that anyone drinking a cappuccino with goats’ milk in it will have a surprise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the nanny of the two kids. I’m letting Ren\u00e9 name her and her two kids.<\/p>\n

This is the 3-month-old billy.<\/p>\n

This is the 3-month-old nanny. We’re going to wean them as soon as we have time. Their mom isn’t giving a lot of milk right now so they might already have started weaning.<\/p>\n

I milked her this afternoon to try and empty her udder and got a measly 80 mL.<\/p>\n

We’re not in a hurry to have huge production, but in time we’d like to each get at least 2 L between the two nannies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This morning Ren\u00e9 and I went and bought wood and sheet metal and we built a shelter for our goats. It is complete with feeding trough. Ren\u00e9’s brother Horacio helped a lot. My hands are really sore from using the handsaw all morning.<\/p>\n
