After years of talking about GOATS we finally headed to Greeley to meet a women named Roxie who had some pygmy goats for the taking! you know how sometimes the person over the phone triggers something and you just know that you have to meet them and hear there "story." Well that was Roxie. I replied to her add for goats, her energy was high, she called m Sissy, and she was in love with her goats! So I meet up with Jody on a cold Tuesday afternoon, in the snow we cruised an hour to the farm lands of Greeley, Colorado. And there in front of an old feed store was Roxie and her husband Dwayne! She knew everything there was to know about goats..or atleast she thought she did! We visited her hobby farm full of the chickens, horses, ducks, doves, goats..and there they were the cutest little goats!! It took a bit to convince her to sell us 2 as she was in love with her "bay" girl! With my persuasiveness we ended up with 2 goats! A little boy and girl..there names are Hazel and Finnegan. The kiddos were so excited...and for the next week we spent so much time in the coop where we housed them until we could get there fence built! This past weekend we built the fence with some help from our friends and the goats seem to be adjusting well. I am so in love..I didn't know goats we so sweet, so gentle so loving..so meet the goats Hazel and Finnegan..along with 20 more chicks we added to the coop!! EGGS FOR SALE THIS SUMMER!!!
