Sunshine!
"Sunshine" is the name of the adorable little doeling that I got from JKL Farms last year. Honestly, I've never been more satisfied with a doe that I've purchased. She's a little irascible, as Nigerian Dwarf goats often seem to be, but she's beautiful and--for the most part--she's gentle. Before she arrived here, she had been to a few goat shows. While she didn't earn legs toward her championship, she was deemed good enough for breeding. I was fortunate to get her.

Tips For Surviving A Wild Animal Attack
The first animal is the shark. There are many shark species, but the most dangerous are the great white sharks. A shark is unlikely to be bothered with killing you because it dislikes the taste of people. Instead, it will most likely take a chunk of muscle from your hip or abdomen, and if that breaks an artery, you will most likely bleed to death. If you go swimming in a shark-infested area, avoid urinating or bleeding into the water because the smell of blood or urine can attract sharks.
