By some miracle, our babies were located - nearly 30 miles away! Thanks to all the members of the community, the police, the school, the feed stores and every individual who was concerned and put the word out!
Yesterday we were able to have them picked up and reunite them with their moms. Biscuit, Ciara and Izzy are alright - they were a little sick having been taken from their moms at such a young age, before they were weaned: whatever they were being fed made them ill and dehydrated, and they appeared weak, dirty and very scared when we first saw them. But as soon as they heard their moms they perked up, and were eager to eat!!! The moms though were a little skeptical as they didn't recognize the babies' scents, so we had to coax them together. The poor moms, too, had suffered during this time as their milk kept coming in: their udders were full so they had to be milked often.
Luckily everything was fine when we left - we are fortunate the babies and their moms weren't separated any longer than they were.
All the goats are at a private farm now for safe-keeping (thank you!) until the High School farm can be secured. - Coco's Mom

YAY!!! We're so glad they have all been reunited! How awesome that the whole community was involved in making sure they were returned. We look forward to the capture of the kid stealers!

three: did you know that in HS I played a character in the musical The Robber Bridegroom The character's name was "Goat" the village idiot - unfortunately I have been typecast ever since that performance and my acting career floundered.
What a great science class.
