- I adore pygmies! Interestigly enough, I lived on a ranch for the first couple of years in this country with a couple of my parent's friends so that I could learn how to speak English. We horses, sheep, even a llama, and we actually had about a dozen " Pygmy show goats." I even showed one named Lucy at a Goat Show in Vacaville, California and won the 1st place blue ribbon. I know that I'm Korean, so yeah, I used to be an 8 year old little sh@@t kicker.
