How big is your lap?

Baby animals of any description are cute but baby goats have to be some of the cutest. They always like to climb and jump and to watch them playing gladdens the heart. Our son in Ireland had three does and while we were there, two each had twin kids so suddenly there were seven goats instead of three. We were there for some time and were able to enjoy interacting with these dear little animals. The kids very quickly became tame and the one I’m nursing in the video was very people-oriented. The video is only 34 seconds and the really cute bit comes in at about 27 seconds if you are really in a hurry.

I used to hv goats, they are so funny. A huge tree limb fell and tht was the best things ever for the goats, they loved it, they also would stand on 9 inch cinder blocks.

They have incredible balance and seem to love jumping and climbing. Unfortunately they leapt all over my son's car and put a few scratches in it.

@JudyEv oh okay that makes sense then if they weren’t just born in the photo. That’s amazing it’s so common for twins and triplets then singles. Right after I saw this post I saw a video on Facebook last night of two baby goats hopping around bumping each other and playing over a dog that was trying to lay on the ground. It was adorable to watch. I wish I could own one of every animal ha ha

@shaggin There are some great clips of goats playing. One shows a young goat jumping on the back of a Shetland pony and bouncing off again.

In the video they'd be several months old but not quite so old in the photo at the top. I think it is more common for them to have twins and triplets than to have single kids.

That's true, when our goat gave birth, the kid always went inside our house and play with my children

He would sit down somewhere and wait for them to come to him and they would climb all over him. They are excellent therapy in many ways!

He was very fond of the goats. They have had to move them on now but they found good homes for them where they have 'visiting rights'.

I grew up on a farm and have been around animals all my life. I forget that some people don't have the opportunity to mix much with animals.

@JudyEv - Little goats are so sweet! One of our daughters lives in the Napa Valley and she owns miniature goats, among other animals. She treats them like dogs ... even brings them in the house!

@JudyEv - My daughter absolutely adores her pet goats. She also had several dogs and the miniature goats come into the house through the doggie door, just like the dogs. They don't bring the chickens, full-size goats and other animals into the house, though!

@DeborahDiane That's probably a good thing! All animals seem to 'give' back love and affection if they are loved enough. It's not just cats and dogs. Do you have any photos of them?

My nephew has prize-winning Saanens and is now breeding miniatures. They are certainly cute and great fun. It is hard to stay sad when little goats are playing.

We raised many pet lambs over my childhood. Some farmers couldn't be bothered with them but we must have saved hundreds over the years. Before Mum was married she raised 100 in one year. In those days probably everyone tried to save stock rather than lose them.

@JudyEv our first two lambs were named....Lunch and Supper! We didn't want the children to get too attached. They also enjoyed A meal with Harvey (the neighbours wandering bull) providing the beef. Go ahead...tell me that's awful...sure was tasty though!

@Morleyhunt If we intended to eat an animal we tried not to make a real pet of it - and we wouldn't give it a name. I must write about Pig one day. Our friends had lambs called Chops and Roast. To each his own!

@Hannihar In Australia (I'm not sure about other places) female goats are called 'nanny' goats so it's a bit like calling a cat Kitty.
