Aww, cute photos!
Cute. I wonder how well the goats do at being lawnmowers.
Thanks for sharing these pictures of such lovely creatures! Some friends that live outside our city area raise these, and they are such gentle and sweet animals.

Very nice photos. These little goats are so cute. Nice they can be pets and useful too. My cat is cute...useful....not so much.
Very cool!
Cute. I hate to think they were once research animals. There may be occasional valid need to use animals in research, but it should be really, really minimal! Don't you love the products that say they were not tested on animals? Probably because all the chemicals in them already WERE tested that way before.
I've always loved goats. They're quite playful and make great pets. :-)
They are sooooo cute!
