MY BABIES
A few years ago I decided that I wanted some fainting goats. Yes that is right goats.
Most women want diamonds, pearl,etc. They are so much fun. I still have some off springs for my first nanny.
A fainting goat is a breed of domestic goat whose muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled. Though painless, this generally results in the animal collapsing on its side. The characteristic is caused by a hereditary genetic disorder called myotonia congenita. When startled, younger goats will stiffen and fall over. Older goats learn to spread their legs or lean against something when startled, and often they continue to run about in an awkward, stiff-legged shuffle.
I have really enjoyed these animals through the years. The children that live around me and even the grown-up stop by from time to time to enjoy my goats also. This is the newest addtions to our family

If my son/ your baby boy asks me one more question about your goats, I am going to go crazy.
