Gate inspectionMy in-laws' new property came with three pygmy goats and two sheep! I named them before I met them, and when I thought that there were only two goats and one sheep. I met them last Sunday, and I am in love! The sheep are very handsome, but they were not interested in people at all. Two of the goats were super-friendly, and I pet them for a very, very long time and took numerous photos. The largest of the goats, Baerli II, was the most timid with people -- he let me touch his nose twice -- but he has no problem facing down the sheep.
The goats are very smart. When asked what month it is, they replied "Maaaaaaaaaaaaay!" :-)
These photos prove why I am completely besotted with these creatures:
Schwanli, the smallest goat

Baerli has a cute mule-ish muzzle
Baerli -- coy or cross?

I wasn't able to get a picture of that,but believe me, it was effing adorable.
The goats have a three-way head butt ...
... as the sheep head for the larger pasture. Each time the sheep headed for the larger pasture, the goats followed. Their bottoms are adorable!
Baerli II considers head-butting Nasturtium II. It didn't happen.
