“Puki” the 4th of July Goat visits Fine Edge.
This handsome fellow is owned by Terry Zeleznikar. His name is Puki, which Terry tells me is Finnish for goat. He is a Pygora, which is a Pygmy/Angora cross. His coat is sheared short in summer, but the breed is raised for it’s fleeces which are used for weaving, spinning and knitting. He has been dyed a festive blue for the occasion (with food coloring) and comes out to join in the 4th of celebration by walking in the parade. He was calm and friendly, but doesn’t like to have his horns touched. He evetually rested his head againt my knee, which I took to mean he really likes me and wants to be the Fine Edge mascot.
