Bubba and Bo

For his 6th birthday, the boy asked for, a grown up desk, and a truck. So we got him a grown up desk, a toy truck, and Bo the Goat. And since Jordan's birthday is next month, we got her Bubba the goat.

Bo and Bubba are adorable, 5 month old Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Bo and Bubba came to us from Nicole over in Rhode Island, and her twin 5 year old boys, Colby and Carson. Because of Colby and Carson the goats are very acclimated to children


It is thought that when sailing ships were transporting Lions and other large cats from Africa to American Zoos, Nigerian Dwarf goats were loaded as a food source for the large cats. The goats that survived the voyage, became zoo exhibits, before working their way into private collections.

The Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association states that does should ideally be 17 - 19 inches in height with a maximum allowed height of 21 inches, and bucks should ideally be 19 - 21 inches with a maximum of 21 inches

The kids understand they have new responsibilities this summer. They will let them out in the morning, lock them up at night, feed, water, brush, and work with their goats.

They are extremely adorable, and I don't use the word adorable very often.
