Our motley bunch of goats

Mum fell in love with goats when her and dad where on holiday in the Cotswolds - dad said maybe we could put them in with the horses - but what mum heard him say was yes let get goats. So she began her getting all the permissions sorted out and bingo before dad knew what was happening she'd collected two goats.

Mickey and Spikey are rare breed Golden Guernseys - they really love mum and always want to cuddle her
They were swiftly followed by a naughty pygmy called Loki - he was feral and hated everything and everyone (apart from Mickey who he fell in love with) he used to escape into the lane where they used to live and make people laugh (well not mum who was often videoed trying to catch him). He's much more friendly now. 
Then we got Bruce to try and stop Loki hassling Mikey but Bruce didn't want to live with the goats and kept escaping but eventually he decided they were ok.  Mum says he naughty and doesn't understand that humans are more delicate than goats and don't want to be headbutted.  I think it's funny watching her telling him off
We took on Woody and Snoopy when we moved here - they are sweet and have got strange shaped horns. Mind you I don't like them stealing our food.
Then the naughty girls arrived that mum adopted  Puffin and her daughter Pumpkin - they are confused and seem to think they are alpacas and live with us most of the time.  Mum says if Puffin was human she would be like a stroppy teenager doing what she wants, when she wants it.  
Our latest arrivals are the little (for now) Anglo Nubian babies (who were only born in March 2023) called Harry and Herbert.    
Sadly Harry had to be PTS when he was about 15 weeks old .   So Herbie wasn't lonely little Hughy joined the gang.
