I was certainly surprised at Christmas time when Steve presented my wife with a G. G. the Goat for her Christmas present. This time I wasn’t surprised. 🙂

After doing some reading on goats, one common theme that came up (as comes up with most animals), is that goats do best when they are around other animals — preferably other goats. So, we decided to get another goat for G. G. to hang out with. I actually think that she would have been fine just hanging out with the llamas, as she gets along with them very well. The bad part is that she can’t be in the same part of the pasture as they are during the day, due to the limitations of the pasture fence at the farm. G. G.’s pen is next to the pasture, but if the llamas wander to the opposite side of the pasture, she wouldn’t be able to see them. That meant for her to have some constant companionship, she needed someone to be in the same pen that she was. What would make a better penmate than another goat?
So, without further ado, I’d like you all to meet Casey the Goat. She is several months younger, and quite a bit smaller than G. G., but equally cute, don’t you think?
