Toaster oven free from work, a little old and dirty for the company kitchen, but should be perfect for tempering, and my wife will appreciate not having the kichen oven smell like burnt oil or whatever 8)

Frosty;
I raised a Pigmy Billy Goat. He was just like having a well trained dog, but could jump much higher.
He always wanted to go with me everywhere I went. So he went with me most of the time. One of his favorite thing to do was to sit in the passenger seat of my truck and look out the windows.
When I could, I even took him to work. Like I say, he acted just like a well behaved dog.
Then one day we were riding along and I noticed that he was eating something.
He was chewing my paycheck that I had placed in the cigarette ash tray.
This proves to me that I had to be smarter than a pigmy goat if I wanted a pay check!
Glad to hear from you, and Thanks for the delightful photos.
Old Rusty Ted

Sounds like a wether rather than a buck to me Ted. Nobody with working nasal apparatus would allow an intact buck in the cab of their truck unless it was a real emergency.

Of course there's no accounting for taste so. . .

Pygmies have great personalities and if they don't have goat buddies will bond to people like a puppy. Among the many metaphors used to describe them, "puppy dogs with hooves" is a common one.

A pasture full of pygmy kids spronking around will put a smile on anybody's face.

I live in York County, PA. "Goatman" Isn't the best name for me anymore; I had one goat that came with the house I bought, but he died of old age three years ago! O well...

Once a Goatman always a Goatman. Too late for hope now.

Sounds like you really need a couple more. Goats are herd animals and really need a buddy of the same species though they will adopt others.

Somehow this 18 inch diameter saw blade used for cutting concrete found it's way into the back of my car and followed me home.
