Dairy Goats!

Mety and Elliot, professional goat wranglers!
Last month, we got two dairy goats for Open Arms village, thanks to a donation from my sister Lexie!


The lady who sold us the dairy goats, demonstrating how she milks them. A little different than the way I know, but it works!

 The day we purchased the dairy goats, our work team volunteers were traveling back from town on a bus.  So the bus stopped and picked the goats on the way back to the village! Getting them on was actually a little easier than getting them off....

Loading our four-legged passengers....


Elliot trying his hand at convincing a goat off the bus.....the goat refused.
Solomon, one of our house parents who helps in the farm, helping our new goat off the bus!


My sisters and I grew up with dairy goats, and we loved raising goats! Our dairy goat always gave birth to triplets so we each had a baby to care for. Fun times!
