Hi when I was on the farm I raised Angora Goats...love those critters..Sweetest babies in the world...All white with curly hair and weighted about 5-6 pounds at birth..Your lucky you still have yours...I had to sell the farm in the early 90’S Had up to 80 goats at one time.. Lots of hoof trimming, delousing and worming every 4 months but loved the work..My husband had to help with the big males and billys. I could handle the rest.. Angora’s get sheared like sheep every 6 months thats where Mohair comes from..Shearing was done by a professional.

Gosh...I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean to dredge up your sorrow over your goat kids....:(

I got one as a rescue and then bought the other so he’d not be lonely.

[truth be told, I’d let them live inside if hubby would let me]...:)
