Today, we went to Lone Rock, Iowa to purchase our new herd additions! It was an exciting day!

We purchased two new Nigerian Dwarf goats for our herd. The male we purchased is named Ramses, and he is our very first buck. We have a few wether goats (fixed males) but no intact bucks. The intent with Ramses is to breed him with our other pygmy and Nigerian dwarf goats next fall when they are all a little older. We are excited about this possibility. Ramses is extremely handsome and has absolutely marvelous horns.

We also purchased a doeling (born in April '08) but she can't be with Ramses yet because she is too young. She can make special friendships with him next fall. She had been named Daffodil, but we decided that since she came with Ramses, she ought to have a more Egyptian sounding name. Thus, we decided on a different flower - Lotus.

Here are Ramses and Lotus in the back of the pickup for their drive to their new home.
