Here we are, New to goats!

SO, I'm Haley! I love horses and animals but owning a horse is pretty much out of the question...
A couple months ago my aunt was considering adopting goats, which got me thinking. At first I really wanted pygmy goats and it took me a while to convince my parents to help me get them. When we began to research further we decided to get Nigerian Dwarfs. So we picked out a baby boy and a baby girl from two different farms. When we went to pick up the girl, (Beatrice), we fell in love with 4 year old junior champion Candie, who we decided to bring home to be part of the new heard. We got home and Candie was going CRAZY! Apparently, Candies baby girl was not fully weaned off yet, (Beatrice was). So we went to go get her baby who we named Lulu. Next we got the boy, Barlo. He cried loudly at first and it didn't help that Candie was butting him every time he got near to the three girls.
It has been about a month since we got them and they are settling in pretty well. Barlo still sometimes cries at the gate but he loves Candie who is becoming found of him. Candie, herself though, cries very loudly in the evening. We are so in love with them!
Candie: Full grown black, white, and brown.
Lulu: 3 months old black with some white, horns.
Beatrice: Yellow with some white.
Barlo: Brown, black, some white.

  • Thanks everyone!
    Here is a question: Every evening around 4:30 our 4 year old doe Candie cries and cries and cries. We feed them dinner at the same time each day and put them to bed a couple hours later.
