Rural Gardening: Two sheep and a goat - rescues, 1 by DrDoolotz

Well today we went to the Animal Rescue League to pick up our new companions - a goat and two sheep. They are all in decent condition as far as weight goes, but they had a terrible problem with burrs in their fur/fleece. They have not been cared for properly in terms of grooming and overall healthy appearance.

So, we first brushed all the burrs out of the goat's fur. As I did it, I asked her about her name. I have this sense that animals know their name and they can tell you. It took about 20 minutes before she was ready to tell me, but then she said she would like to be named Tulip. I had tried out other names on her, suggesting latte and coffee and butter and cocoa, but no, she went in a wholly different direction, and it was loud and clear when she said it. So, she is Tulip.

Does anybody have any idea on her breed (or mix of breeds)? She is STRONG and has a lot of muscle, so maybe some Boer in her, but she doesn't have the head or ears of a Boer goat, and she doesn't have Nubian ears either. She is way too big for pygmy.

Here she is.
