Timi went into heat last Friday, and according to others who have gone down this path more often than
the handlers have, the best day to arrange a date is the second day of heat.
Instead of doing normal Saturday
morning activities (racing into town to the dry goods store, the butcher, the vegetable and
fruit market, the wine seller, and the bakery all before 12:30 when everything closes for the weekend), they went in search of a date
for their youngest female goat. They had remembered a family of goats on a parallel road to their
own, but found out at the corner store that they did not have a billy goat. It
was interesting to watch Female Handler explain without blushing, the need to
have a “meeting” between her female goat and a nearby billygoat. Some words are
just not words that she has gleaned or studied in the past. Ironically Male
Handler knew all the exact words…
