Our Bunny Rabbit

We have a goat named Bunny.  I know, a strange name for a goat, but she has long ears and a pink nose and when she was just a baby, we thought she looked like a bunny.  That's how she got her name.  She is a cute little critter.  Her mother is Agnes.  Agnes is the only goat on the property with horns.  We always say that we'll never allow another goat to have horns.  She certainly uses them to gain dominance over the other hornless goats.  

Bunny is part Nubian and part LaMancha.  The other day we bought her a pretty pink collar and I figured it was a good time to introduce her to you.  We have a lot of goats for our little pasture - too many, in fact.  They are fun to watch.  The are canailles (mischievous).  Bunny will hop up on this table and knock the fan off the table.

Her new pink collar contrasts nicely against her black fur.  Notice also what's hanging from her neck over the collar.

They are called wattles.  They serve no purpose.  Wattles are like skin tags or fleshy appendages with hair on them.  They are dominant.  A goat can't have wattles if neither parent had them.  In Bunny's case, her momma, Agnes, had them.

Bunny's wattles make her look unique.  But that's not the only thing making Bunny look unique.  She has a white stripe running down her face and a pink nose.  We've never had a goat with a pink nose before.

Bunny wishes you all a nice weekend!
