Back in the middle of March I was in town to close on our old house and finish moving the remainder of our furniture. Thanks to Westley's grandma I discovered a miniature breed of goat I hadn't heard of. You guessed right ~ I brought one home!
Hello.
My name is Inigo.
Be prepared to fall in love.
Inigo was quite shy at first. It wasn't long before he found his place in the herd and is very sweet. A Mini-Silky has the myotonic gene which means he is a "fainting" goat but that does not mean he will faint. As of yet he hasn't and I don't really think he will. He has a long silky coat that could get quite long as he gets older and he'll be just taller than Westley and Buttercup. Food is his main interest :)
Hazel follows to watch over the morning routine in the goat pen.
Just to the right of Inigo you can catch a glimpse of Lou, the tribe's rooster. He waits at the gate watching for the goats to return from their morning walk. Lou takes his job
as guardian over his tribe of 3 goats, 2 hens, and himself very seriously. We've seen him alert both the girls and goats to a food source and he frequently herds them into the shed.
Took him a while but Inigo finally decided being up high on the stumps was fun!
Everybody looks forward to breakfast ~ even Cocobunny joined in for her share.
Fallen fresh pine needles are a nice treat enjoyed by all.
