We were out doing a Breeding Bird Atlas Block today and saw some curious looking goats. I stopped to talk to the farmer that was picking up his mail and he was happy to tell me all about them and other animals his "boy" likes to keep. Now this "boy" is 27 years old. I bet he just hates to hear his Dad refer to him as his "boy".
Anyway they are a type of Spanish Goat. I just thought the billy was so handsome with these huge curved horns.Quite a majestic beast.
I was just facinated by those long twisted horns.
Yes, at some point I am going to have to draw them.

He IS a cutie! What unusual looking animals but pretty, too. I always like looking at farm animals. We have longhorn steer at a farm near here. Fascinating.
Your blog cheers me up on a day I feel really sad. It's good to be back.
Lisa.....they are so cute. I love goats. A lot of locals keep them in this area. They are so useful for keeping the grass down.....
