...the four legged variety. My kids(the 2 legged kind) have been bugging me since before our goat kids were born about a "show & tell" with the baby goats, and I finally did the classroom visits today.
The kindergarteners laughed boisterously when our little buckling tinkled and left berries, there's not much funnier to a 5 year old than bodily functions.
The fourth and fifth graders were a little more mature, and we did their visit on a fenced lawn, which is preferable to the classroom. My daughter, Maggie, is having the kids in her class vote to name her doe's kids, a buck and a doe.
The buck is going as a wether to our local water company as brush control, they have successfully used goats for the last several years and they seem to keep people out too, they have a wether who was wethered late in life with a nice set of horns and a sizeable beard who lost his companion last sping and they are taking two of our wethers as companions. They say ever since they got him the graffiti has stopped, personally I don't find goats intimidating, but the graffiti artists must!
The doeling will be ther first she is keeping out of her doe, so she is excited about her.
The three kids I brought to school also made the rounds at my work and daycare, big hits all around.
