My blog is not particularly about farm animals at any time, but you know when I see something worth sharing, I will always do that around here. Hope you don’t mind. I just can’t stay completely on the topic of decorating, cause life is not all about decorating. Life is about random sometimes and today is a random day.
Besides, sometimes you just have to stop and smell the goats. 🙂
Cute goats alert!
After the wonderful brunch with the girls that I shared yesterday, Judy and I headed back home and stopped by the barn to see the goats on the way out. And a few other farm animals that happened to be in the vicinity.
Like this sweet ole’ girl, Cupcake the pig. She’s a pot-bellied pig and didn’t even bat a pretty gray eyelash when we passed by her stall. Girlfriend’s been eating a lot it appears and was down for her afternoon nap. Yeah, I know the feeling after that brunch food, Miss Cupcake. 
Cute little chickies running around the barn too.
We then got outside to see the goats. 
Brown goats, white goats, black goats, goats of many colors. 
Aren’t they sweet? 
And then I saw this little guy! I think there were 2 just alike and they were 2 weeks old. I wanted to pick him up and put him in my purse.
Don’t you think my dad would love to have a goat in the backyard to take care of all that grass growing that happens? Way to cut down on mowing the lawn! Going green. That’s a great idea. 
I loved looking at them and they looked right back at me as I took their pics. They probably thought I was going to feed them something. 
Fascinating creatures, they are.
Look how color coordinated they are? I love this wardrobe, black and white is my fave. 
Resting in the water trough. 
Oh, he’s done now, out he goes. 
There’s that sweet baby face looking up at me. He is just so adorable, I wanted to kiss him.
Major cuteness going on with this little guy.
They are so stately with lovely faces and those horns are pretty neat too.
Loved taking their pics.
Sweet guys. Or girls. I have no idea what they were.
Cute definitely comes to mind though. Yep, they are so cute.
I imagine they can do some real damage to some grass in no time flat. 
Taking a few minutes to watch them was very fun. 
This big guy was hanging out in the barn. King of the roost! He has some beautiful colors in his feathers, no wonder the girls like him.
Here’s where it got a little dicey. As we were leaving and walking back through the barn, her cousin’s husband, Tommy made the comment, “well look who’s back again.” 
And calmly walked over and picked up this slithering creature. I stayed far back, but quickly said, let me take his pic! I knew ya’ll would love to see this too. Did I mention I really hate snakes? I do. Tommy threw the snake in a burlap sack, tied him up and was going to drop him off in the woods somewhere. I don’t know the snake variety, but I’m sure he wasn’t poisonous. Tommy said they love to eat the eggs that the hens lay. I’m sure they do. 
Judy and I drove back to our county and said goodbye to the sweet farm animals, like this pretty little hen out in the field.
She’s going to lay some eggs, I imagine.
Farm life. Chickens, roosters, pigs and goats.
Do you have any of these? We used to have chickens that laid eggs when I was very little, but that is all the farm animals that I’ve ever been a part of.
Made me smile. Utterly adorable.
Too Cute! Thanks for something different… that’s what life is all about!
So glad he didn’t kill the snake. My mom is scared to death of snakes and my father in law was too, but snakes have a place in nature. I totally understand a different reaction if he was poisonous, but even though he loves eating eggs, he serves a purpose. Of course, I live where there are no poisonous snakes in the whole state…maybe I would feel differently if he could kill me. I grew up in suburbia, so no farm animals in my past or future. Lovely pictures.
Love the photos. We had the whole gambut of animals on our farm but my favourite were the goats. I’ll never forget the day I went to round them up in the field and couldn’t find them. I could hear them though. Our border collie spotted them though-they had climbed an apple tree for a snack 🙂
I LOVE goats, especially baby goats! This post made my day, they are so adorable, I feel the same way when I see them. Just want to scoop em up. We have some near our house and when the little ones are being born it is so fun to ride by and watch them play.
I come home to chickens in my front yard OFTEN, but don’t really mind because they eat bugs and SCORPIONS, which are also around these parts. Chickens > Scorpions 🙂
We get to come home to cows, 4 newborn calves at this moment, horses, chickens, pigs, but NO goats. My husband hasn’t approved those yet! Plus the many creatures that my kids find for me to nurse back to health. We just acquired a baby deer that our dogs had penned down and they found before any damage was done.
Our kids love having all the animals and so do we. I grew up with everything, but my husband was a city dude. Wouldn’t ever guess that now…he is completely on board with the farm life.
And those baby goats are soooo adorable.
Love these pictures, Rhoda. The goats, especially the babies are so sweet {wish I had those eyelashes!!} We always visit the animals when we go to county fairs and it really brings you down to earth. Such cute animals with their blue ribbons. I don’t think that snake would win any prize!!

No farm animals in my family, except some baby chicks one Easter when I was a little girl. I’m sure I would enjoy visiting a farm though. The animals are so much fun to watch.
Hugs,
Kat
Holy CUTENESS and SCARY-NESS all in one post! 😀
I have always been around farm critters. Both sets of grandparents had cows…… Now my grandmother in-law has horses. My best friend raises and shows goats, so we always get the pleasure of seeing their baby cuteness! Of, we have our own little critters…..1 dog, 1 cat, and at the moment 3 fish. We have wildlife that wonders up into our yard all the time…..deer, turkeys, a fox, squirrels, chipmunks, shunks, rabbits, and unforunately snakes YIKES!!!! I LOVE watching all kinds of critters minus the snakes! Thanks for sharing your photos…..the precious baby brown goat was too stinkin’ cute!!!
What a gorgeous rooster! We have laying hens as well as dairy goats. Never seen a snake here though praise the Lord. I just might move back to town if that ever happened 🙂
Oh my goodness! Those babies are just utterly adorable! Loved this sweet post with all of the darling little faces! I would love to have a goat farm! 🙂
xoxo laurie
That just topped the cuteness meter BIG TIME…especially that cute little ‘un with the baby face looking up through the fence! The snake? NOT so cute 😉
I think it’s great when you mix in these “spice of life” posts in with the decor/home/thrifting pieces!
If it’s from you, we all always love it no matter what!
Hugs/blessings,
Lana
Thanks for the adorable pics! Great pix Rhoda and I did milk a goat once in Montana and had the milk with my cereal! I have been close to a pregnant pig and smelled them (peeee-youuuu) and there is a farm close to where I live here in NH and you can feed and pet the goats, so I do that once or twice every summer. Have a great 4th of July!! 😉
My MIL keeps about 20 goats on their land in Woodstock. One of her females just had babies and I can’t wait to go up and see them. She has four other nanny goats expecting too.
The babies are really so sweet and a sight to be seen!
So cute.. Lucky none of the goats ate your camara. I love the babies. I have guinea pigs and they can mow the grass quite well. 🙂 one actually has the goat face. We say it all the time. Dr. Fleur.. but she is a huge DIVA. The snake, well that was just gross or is it grody? ha ha Have a sweet day.
So cute. And dangerous for me~I’ve been wanting a little goat for a long time now, so far I’ve resisted but these photos are wearing me down. : )
I loved all of the photos, except the one of the snake, yuck!! My aunt has goats, and the babies are always so cute.
Hi! I was curious about where you are from, or where the photos of these goats were taken. I grew up simmering on a goat farm in Tuscaloosa Alabama and my grandparents had goats that looked identical to some of the ones in this herd. I’m a nerd and I look at goat pictures all the time! But I never see any that look quite like these and I was wondering if it might be a regional thing.
Hi, Leigh, these goats were near Atlanta, out near Villa Rica area. It was a friend of mine’s relative and she took me out to see them.
