These are the goats "bios."
ONYX- Onyx is the herd queen. She is rather stompy when she is milked. Onyx likes to use Lark as a punching bag. I am sure Onyx's greatest ambition is to kill Lark. In general, Onyx is friendly to people but is an absolute toadstool to any goat other than her kids.
PATCHES- Patches is Onyx's half-sister. She is the best goat mother at our place. Because of chronic mastitis Patches might be butchered this fall. I hope she isn't butchered because Patches, along with Onyx and Lark, is the only goat a friend gave us.
CALLA- Calla is Onyx's first daughter. She is fat and spoiled. Calla kidded a few days ago. My brother and I immensely dislike Calla. I frequently call her Cowpie. Jason frequently calls her Moocow.
MYRTLE- Myrtle is Calla's first daughter. She is all black, like her grandmother Onyx. Myrtle is a rather small goat. Her kids are Signus and Pluto. Pluto got sick over the winter and was eventually shot.
LARK- Lark is a long-eared loudmouth. She is very gangly and screams for her food aroung milking time. Lark gets beat up from Onyx. She has given birth to two doelings this year and one doeling and one buckling last year. Oh yeah, Lark pretends she is a bunny rabbit when being milked.
DELOS- Delos is a stinky buck and is the father to most of the kids. He is ugly, was unsucessfully dehorned before we got him, and smells awful from September to February.
PEPPER- Pepper is the only buckling Patches had in her batch of triplets last year. He will probably be the daddy to Myrtle's to-be batch of kids this year.
PEANUT BRITTLE- Peanut Brittle is the son of Lark's. He was born last year. Peanut Britttle is fairly pretty and pretty brown.
CARMEL- Carmel is Peanut Brittle's sister. Due to a sprig teat (a teat that has another teat growing off it) she will probably be butchered. Carmel, Sugar, Spice, Kettle, Petal and Signus are all pregnant.
SUGAR- Sugar is a white doeling. Her mother is Pacthes, and she was one of Patches triplets. I am rather fond of Sugar.
SPICE- Spice is dark brown. Her mother is Patches and she is
the last of Patches' triplets.
KETTLE- Kettle is one of Calla's babies. She is brownish-white.
PETAL- Petal is not very aggresive. She has very short ears. Petal likes being brushed.
SIGNUS- Signus is pure black, like her mom. She is a basic scaredy-cat, like her mom. We named Signus Signus as in Signus the Swan or as in the black whole, Signus X1.
CYPRESS and PEGASUS- Cypress and Pegasus are identical bucklings of Onyx's. Pegasus is probably the dad of Carmel, Sugar, Spice, Kettle, Petal, and Signus's to-be kids.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ ABOUT THIS YEAR'S KIDS
ONYX'S KIDS- Onyx has given birth to a doeling and a buckling.
PATCHES' KID- Patches' kid Hermes is about two months old. He is being put in the kid pen at night and is NOT happy about THAT.
CALLA'S KIDS- Calla has a doeling and a buckling. She is an awful mother and let a great amount of poo accumulate under her buckling's tail. We could hardly see his pooer. We had to remove all the poo with a paper towel.
LARK'S KIDS- Lark has two doelings. Although they have not been named, I am calling the brownish doeling Brownie. I could call the white doeling White Sauce.
