Meet Missy everyone. She is the first goat born on the place!

She was born at 7:00 pm and found in the goat barn at 7:10 pm to a first time mom that I drug home from the auction in late September. This is cattle country, we are cattle people, and I wanted a goat and the crap that would follow having a goat just about as much as I want a new gunshot wound! I needed the weed control and milk from mom worse than I figured the crap from the neighbors would be... Could have been wrong...

This pic about 30 mins old, in the house where it is warm. Outside 9 degrees and having silver fog real bad. She was wet and cold but now warm, dry and full belly. I hope she like calf replacer until she remeets mom in the am.

Aww...congrats.

I hope you will like Missy and her mom even though you are a 'cow' person through and through. Something about having smaller livestock is nice when all the rest is big. We raised cattle when we got sheep in 1980 and I liked the sheep much more...much to my dad's disappointment. ;)

i just moved to the country in 2004 what is silver fog?

[GREEN_ALIEN]

LOL Silver fog is a beautiful pain in the butt!

It is heavy, thick fog in freezing weather. Usually around 10-20 degrees F. It coats everything with fluffy frost several inches thick. Trees look like fresh snowfall has landed until it builds up too much then trees break. Power lines get as big around a basketball, then they fall. Chicken wire 8 feet high looks like a fence made of frost, you cannot see through it, until it rips down somewhere.

Yup, Silver Fog is a beautiful pain in the butt!
