I know it sounds silly to be introducing you to goats, but come on who doesn't want to meet a goat?! Goats are very comparable to dogs in that they all have their different personalities. They are very docile animals and are loving. My goats will follow me around, even the skittish ones. They want to be petted and touched, although, I refuse to touch the bucks if I don't have to. It is true that bucks have a certain smell that is pleasing only to the female goat. If you do see me and I have the most awful smell, just know it is not me, but my bucks.
When we got started with goats, we wanted to have a theme when it came to the names we gave them. We ended up giving them the names of states because we had already started that tradition with our cats, and we just like the patriotic feel to it. Also, there are 50 states so that means we can have 50 goats, right?! We have five goats total at this time (and counting). We have two bucks (intact males), and 2 does ( females), and one very cute doeling (baby female). These goats are all so very loved. I thought the best way to introduce my goats would be with a fun survey for each one, you know those fun, yet annoying, surveys found on social media?! Oh boy! here we go.
