Ungulate #AtoZChallenge

Ungulate is a fancy way of saying goats have hooves. Grandpa has a nice herd of ungulata.
Ungulate - belonging or pertaining to the Ungulata, a former order of all hoofed mammals, now divided into the odd-toed perissodactyls and even-toed artiodactyls.
 
Whatever you call them the kids are cute.

They are pretty friendly, once they get used to Mommy they try to eat her.

Grandpa was herding them.

They do not like going where they are told.

Mommy says it's kinda like herding cats, just easier.

They didn't know what to think of Mommy's camera.



This Mother and kid are super cute.


Goats like to play. They use this culvert as a tunnel.


The kids think it's time for lunch.


Their Mom is super sweet and takes good care of them.

























So far Mommy has resisted the urge to bring an ungulate home, thank cat.







This kid was having the best time running and jumping.

Now we thinks it is time for our lunch, catch you later. ~ATCAD

Beautiful animals, full of mischief. Brought me back to days long ago when I lived out in the countryside of rural Arkansas.
