It's Indy here and I thought that for our first post I would share a little about myself and my pal Cat. We are both residents of Kracker Ranch and have been members of the herd for our entire lives (4 years for me and 3 years for Cat). I am a LaMancha (the breed with very little ears) type experimental dairy goat, which means that I am a cross of two breeds of dairy goat but I look like a LaMancha, I am secretly half Nubian (the kind with floppy ears). Cat is an Alpine, she has upright ears and is a very tall goat. We became fast friends when Cat was moved into my pen when she turned a year old, we have been partners in crime ever since.
We are both favorites of our people and because of that we get away with a lot of things that our herd mates don't. On any given day if the humans are at the barn you can find us wandering around nibbling on trees, visiting with the other animals, playing with the dogs, or just helping out with the daily barn chores. Our people say that we are allowed to wander the barnyard because we are so well behaved but we know that its because we are the favorites in the herd. They tend to call me a free spirit because I find lots of things on the ranch to occupy my time and they lose track of me and have to go find me. Cat spends most of her time attached at their hip...they can't lose her lol! This week has been busy with fair prep as we are getting ready to attend the California State Fair this coming week and our local county fair the following week. We will be sure to keep you posted about the happenings at the State Fair and if you will be at the fair stop by and say hi! Just look for the Kracker Ranch sign, our humans will direct you to us!
