We adopted a nameless bred pygmy goat yesterday and my lovely daughters appropriately named this new addition to Wind Ranch- Jamie Lynn Spears..
So far, Jamie has been rather bitchy, maybe she does not like her new digs.. She has been asserting herself as the alpha. At first we were worried that Awesomeow might get hurt from her, but we have been watching. He is starting to run when she comes his way.. Poor “NutBoy”.
She is due to kid in Mid September. The breeder said she has twins in there and she has had one set of twins before. She knows what to do. Whew.
After we get the horse shed rebuilt, then we are going to tackle the goat fence and little goat shed. These little goats can clear a 4 foot fence with no problem. We continuously have to rethink the fence situation. Right now the only thing that works is using the horse round pen with cheap welded wire attached inside. They use their little horns and lift the wire to get out, so we end up attaching meal posts to the bottom to make it harder. We found “goat fence” at the Tractor supply store and are going to pick some of that up and put it in, then attach a string of electric fence near the bottom and top, to keep these little geniuses in.
I feel so country..


What a darling little goat! Your goats should be happy to have such lovely folks to love and care for them! Uncle Bill, our kitty Blue Girl (Moopses) and I are all goats…Capricorns :^)…are any of you Caps, too! Love your website, dearie!
