Aida came to us from a friend who no longer had time to take care of their two goats any longer. The move was a bit hard, but Aida, at least, fit it quite well with our mixed goat/sheep flock.

She has a bit of an attitude, and has nudged Emma quite hard before. That said, she seems to be calming down the longer she spends hanging out with a flock of her own kind. She'll still run from the occasional petting, but is getting better about not bolting every time.

Notes

Jan. 10, 2012

Did the animal chores this morning again. The nigerian ladies seemed no further along, we could be waiting until February here. I also wonder if the presence of Josephia is slowing the process down.

Otherwise everyone doing well. Temperature was slightly below freezing, but warm enough that a barn coat over a fleece was too hot for chores. Snow should finally be coming at the end of this week.

Checking on the ladies when we got home, Moxie was this time doing some very, labor-like things. Specifically, standing up on her feed bowl, dropping her tail and nipping at her sides. We setup a partition wall to keep the noise of the piglets next door away from them and we’ll see.
