Meet our new farm animals..We are proud parents

Posted on Monday, October 13, 2008 at 10:10

We got two pygmies on fri they were born in the spring. This picture is bringing them home they are in my car. They didn't mind riding at all..

The buff color one is name butterscotch and the tri color one is called pudding.

They are in one side of the horse stall and seem to like it ok. They have been in the barn since they were born so they really didn't know what it was like in the sun light.

They have been alot of company we have been holding them and loving them up. They love to eat leaves so we are going to rake and bag them up for treats this winter.

We are also looking for a good goat company to buy supplies like worming meds and I need another bell I have one.. Our local farm store doesn't carry anything for goats..

Here they are butterscotch and pudding.
