Here they are. Our new milking goats. La Manchas are here.
I have just a few photos for you and some introductions. They are such nice animals. They love to be stroked and are not noisy at all. Quiet wee goats but busy, busy. Goats love people and also love chewing on people. I am really enjoying this little herd so far.
I have named my two does Freya and Hazel. 
This is Freya she is brown and looks like a little dog –
and Hazel is black and white and she has the most beautiful markings.
They very sweetly posed together.
The two handsome Billy Goats are to be called Hans Halkon and Carl Gustav – they belong to the lady up the road so she has named them.
Hans (the little black one) was hard to capture an image of as he is a very energetic wee goat. But Carl is quite the poser and the epitomy of goat. 
A stunning boy. I will keep them all here while I am still bottle feeding them and after a while the Billys will toddle off down the road to live with their owner and keep her grass down. Then in the late winter we will borrow one buck back to breed our two girls. Using the other one the following year. 
There is Hazel in the front and Freya standing behind her with Carl Gustav on the left. I need to take their tape collars off now that they are named.
Boo spent the first half of the day watching them from outside of the pen but by the late afternoon he was in there. Sleeping with them. He cannot resist babies. 
There is Hans in the foreground.
So there you are. The goats are here. I guess it had to happen! And if all goes well – this time next year we will be milking goats and cows.
I will see you in the morning..
Love your friend on the farm

They are adorable. And boo nanny has some new charges!
Oh Miss C, they are wonderful, and I feel privileged to be the first to comment. How lucky that I was just about to sign off when your post popped up. It will be beyond fun to watch these girls and boys interact.
They are really really loving, like cats really!
Ha ha – they all look a bit like dogs! I know they are American, but a breed like La Mancha deserves a few windmills and a donkey, perhaps named Sancho Panza 😉
laughter!! true! Must get me Donkey! the annual April Swap is coming up you know!!
Cool 🙂
Well she did name a peacock Carlos Garcia. 😉
Yay! Welcome to the farmy, goats! I knew Nanny Boo would be excited to be on duty again. How wonderful!
So cute! I’m looking forward to lots of goat antics!
Cuteness cubed! There might be cats in there with them before the night is done. 🙂 Can’t wait to see their antics. Thanks for breaking the rule!
oh and that picture of boo and the teenager peering through the gate….priceless!
Oh they are darling!! CUTE!! Oh that Boo!! Loves his babies!!! He’s the best babysitter!!! The Celi farm is just becoming the greatest!!!
Oh, I have waited all day to see the new kids! They are adorable! You will love them! I love Hazel’s little gopher ears! 🙂 Congratulations C. on your darling, new arrivals!
Hazel!!!!!
They are beautiful – this is so exciting!
OMG!!! Goats are by far, my most favorite farm animals and the thing I want most!!!!! Can the girls and I please come out in the next couple of weeks? We would all love to help feed them 🙂
How adorable! When I was small we lived on a little farm and had milk goats named Mary Jane and Snickelfritz. Lovely and loving creatures.
wonderful.. so you like goats milk?
We drank it every day and loved it. It’s much better than cow’s milk for baking, too, according to my mother.
Why the Nordic names for Freya and the boys? They are all absolutely adorable and you definitely do need to get a donkey or two for the Farmy. Check out the blogs 7MSN Ranch and On the Way to Critter Farm to see why.
If we didn’t live in the city, we’d have goats and donkeys, and pigs and cows and sheep and chickens…
Hi kippy, the lady who bought the Billy goats is of Danish extraction. her grandmother was from Denmark i believe, maybe she will come in and clarify that for us.. c
They are so cute and cuddly! It didn’t take Nanny Boo long to put her back into her ‘mummy mode’. It doesn’t matter what kind of baby it is, she just loves babies, bless her!
I’m going to love watching these babies grow on the farmy.
They are adorable, love Hazel’s little pixie ears! Goats are just such happy creatures to have around, they always make me smile.
Hazel does have the sweetest ears.. c
