Meet My Herd

Okay, this is getting frustrating.   This is the third time I've tried to post this and I keep losing it.  I'll try one more time--
I'd like to introduce you to my small herd of Angora goats.  They provide us with fiber for our mittens, socks, sweaters, etc.  They also satisfy my spinning addiction.

This is Bear.  He's the buck to my herd.  This is his last year with us, he's moving on to bigger and better farms.  He has a very nice caramel color.

Here is Big Mama. She's been with me since I started this endeavor.  She's four years old now.  She is a silver/gray/black color.

That's Darcy on the left.  Can  you tell Big Mama is her mother?  Wonder how they can see where they're going?

Lydia, this year's doeling.  She is only 1/2 Angora.  She has fiber a bit different than the others.  Hers is more kinked and not so curly.  Very soft, though.

And here's Sassy.  The last one in the herd. She's also been with me since the beginning.  She's Lydia's mom and my only white goat.  White fiber is good as it can be dyed to whatever color you'd like.

I'm expecting to have a mess of new kids this spring, Lord willing, and will take lots of pictures.  Is anything as cute as a baby goat?
