The other day we went to a farm to buy goats!
We set out in our rumbly truck to go to a farm.
The farm had lots of other animals too, like pigs, cows, rabbits, and such, but we focused right away on the goats.
They had two adult ones, one of which was fatter and had bigger utters, and four babies, two boys, two girls. They were all nubian goats.
The baby goats were very cute and all so friendly. The fatter one had two boys, and the skinnier one had two girls.
The owner of the farm was only looking to sell the smaller one so we bought her and one baby.
We put them in the back of the truck and rumbled our way home.

They are named Rutabaga and Turnip. Rutabaga gives about a gallon of milk a day (give or take) and we are planning on using it for cheese and yogurt.
We are keeping them in a pen with lots of grass and things in it. We always put them in the barn at night.
Later, we set out again to buy more goats! I didn't go that time, but they came back with two more females. I'm not sure what type of goat they are, but they are milky white and a bit bigger than the other girls.
They are yet to get names, but I am thinking arugula and sorrel. All of the goats get along pretty well and are living their lives away happily within our farm's ecosystem.
