First to Go

Chloe

This is the hardest part about having baby goats.  I'm sure having baby anything when you can't keep them all is hard to give them up.  I've been very honest with any of the potential buyers that have called inquiring about buying one of my babies and all I can do is hope they are being honest with me about what type of home they are going to provide.

Chloe was the first baby to go to her new home.  All of the babies have been sold but some are staying here for a couple of weeks more for different reasons.

Chloe was the first to leave for her new home on Saturday.

She is actually a gift for Father's Day. The father who will be receiving her, I've been told has wanted goats for awhile and has been preparing his land with shelter and fencing and just has finished it. he knew that he wanted a Nubian as he and his wife hopes to eventually milk their does.  His daughter decided to get him his first goat as a gift and just fell in love with Chloe, how could she not?

We spent quite a bit of time on the phone, actually over an hour discussing what type of home Chloe would be going to and if she would have any other goats with her.  Chloe will be his first goat but she will have a golden retriever as a pasture buddy until they find their second goat, which Chloe will love since she is used to having Matilda with her.  They also have young daughters ages 9 and 13 that will be there to spend time with Chloe. 

They seemed like really sweet people and I should be getting a call soon from the father on what they would like to name her so I can go ahead and get Chloe registered in the name they would like.

I just really hope that she is doing well and being taken care of the way I took care of her.

Priscilla is doing okay. She was a little lost this morning, actually calling for Chloe and standing by the pen door this morning thinking that Chloe was in there since that is where she usually is in the morning.  I hope over the next few days the she will be fine.

Claire on the other hand is NOT happy she has lost her play friend.  Claire cried all night being in the pen overnight by herself even though she can see her mama and all the other goats through the door.  Claire seems to be doing fine today but I'm sure she will miss her buddy Chloe.
