I have been looking around for awhile now and I finally found a new buddy for my dwarf, Big.
Please met Ferd the goat!!
I was so picky and I have most likely been out to at least 5 different places looking at goats and been e-mail even more people asking about them.
I really wanted to get the right goat for Big. I needing something that was gentle, non-aggressive (especially around food), didn't bunt, preferably a male, and got along with horses..Well that is Ferd in a nutshell.
He is a pygmy and 3 years old. He is a single goat right now, but does and visits my neighbor’s pygmies a few hours in the veneing until we find another goat.
At first he was pretty upset calling out and the only way he would be quit was if I sat out there with him...needless to say I am very sun burnt!
He is a vet sweet boy! He did however give me a mini heart attack tonight. I went out to check on Big and him. I had the flashlight and was shinning it in the pen. All I could see where Bigs eyes in the back shelter corner. I called out to him and this guy just loves human attention so he is usually right at the gate to meet you.
Still there was nothing. So I started to walk along the fence line scanning the pen, STILL I could see nothing! I thought to myself "OH NO! He some how got out!!!???"
Then all the sudden I saw a flicker of eyes from the flash light and lone behold Ferd's head popped up from behind Big! They were in the shelter cuddling right next to each other!! It made me so happy.
Big is just such a happy camper with him around. If I am not out there Ferb with follow Big around. It like Big is showing Ferb the ropes. They even were sharing their apples and carrots today!
Just thought I would share!
