Leonardo Is His Name

We finally settled on a name for our angora buck – Leonardo. He seems to like it although it will take some time for him to get used to being called something other than little boy which is what we had been calling him.

Tulip, our cashmere goat, has taken quite a liking to Leonardo. The two of them are stalled together, right next to the dairy goats. Needless to say the dairy goats are acting like they are really missing out, but they were the ones who wanted to beat the two smaller goats up all the time.

We have spent most of the day working on the room next to the stalls. We thought we were going to make that a sheep room – but suprise, there is concrete curbs and a metal stand in there that is unmoveable without more work than we want to invest. So, back to the drawing board. We have decided to use the room as a milking room and feed room instead.

We are considering purchasing a pair of Leicester Longwool Sheep in late July or early August once they are weaned and need a new stall area to keep them in. One is black and the other one is white.
