Oliver and Ivy Grow Up

I wanted to update you on Oliver and Ivy.  These are my two goats that we bottle fed all summer and they grew up into the sweetest pair of siblings you could imagine!  They still love to frolick in the field and are so happy and sweet.  I swore to my family that I would NOT become a crazy goat lady however, they are so amazing. I am very surprised at how attached to them I have become. Fun on the farm!!
