Goats are BIG

Although many goats in North America are "smallish", not all goats are the same. Nubian goats from South Africa, for example, are about the size of a small pony. Fortunate for us, we happen to live near some Nubian goats. Last weekend, JoLee and I went down to "The Farm" to take pictures of some rather large goats as evidence that they do exist (despite comments to the contrary--you know who you are).

Goats are great animals by the way. They're gentle, playful, and much cleaner than cows. The Farm has so many goats! In fact, JoLee and I sometimes call it the goat farm. Of course, there are other animals as well. For some reason, the two pigs at the farm seem especially photogenic. I don't know what accounts for this phenomenon, but the camera loves them.

Nate! You make me laugh. Thanks for taking the pics. Now we are fully committed to Nubians when we move into the boon docks.

I still want to come see for myself, when we come out there. Because maybe you just photoshopped it. ;)
