Anni purchased two goats a few months ago with a promise that they had been bred. She needed bred goats in order to get more goat milk for her soap. Only they were not bred. That meant she had two pets and with only an acre, she needed to find a new home for her two goats.
We decided to see if the goats would integrate well with our sheep. The idea is that goats will eat a lot of stuff that sheep do not eat. So running them together would help get different types of vegetation eaten down.
Anni had names for the goats, but we decided to give them our own farm names.
The one with the beard will be:
ANNEKE (On-ih-ka) This is a Dutch name that Joan suggested. We liked it because it has Anni's name in it. It means "Pure."
The one without the beard will be:
JANTINE (Yan-teen-uh) This is a Dutch name that Tijmen suggested, It means "God is forgiving" and is Tijmen's sister's name -- he said she'd get a kick out of having a goat in America named after her.
Welcome to the farm you little ladies,
