Registered Nigerian Dwarf goats
Goats and horses... and a couple of rabbits
live on our little backyard farm in northeastern Minnesota. The horses (a purebred registered Arabian, Abu, and an Arabian/Saddlebred named Jack) live two miles away on a friend's farm. Living with the goats are two small rabbits, a Dwarf Hotot named Bella and a Dutch named Louise. They have dug their own home deep in the earth under the outside goat shed and reject their daily rabbit pellets in favor of climbing into the goats' dishes and eating along with them.
The goats consistently win highest honors at the local fair: best in show, best of breed, best yearling, reserve champion meat goat (the wether), best mother-daughter pair.

Granddaughter Vera and Julia, our grand champion pygmy doe. She now lives with a friend and his miniature horse, where she chases off the resident pit bull whenever he approaches her pal, the horse.
