OUT OF OFFICE
Chrissy Neff of Bank
of Clarke County
says her first goat,
Lightning, is ornery,
but very loving.
Chrissy Neff:
Leading the herd
Chrissy Neff , a digital systems administrator at $1 billion-asset Bank of
Clarke County in Berryville, Va., adopted her first pet goat in 2018 and
has since expanded her farm family to three goats-Lightning, Uni and
Jerry-and Benjamin, a miniature donkey.
My son has this video that's
hilarious. It's of me trying to walk
Lightning. He was having nothing
to do with it. He did not want that
halter on him. So, he literally stood
on his two back legs and was trying
to kick me with his front legs. After
that, I was like, " No [more walks]! "
We have a small farm, because
my husband raises cows. I always
thought I wanted a goat, because
you can't really bond with cows. But
a friend of mine [and] her son had a
goat he was really fond of that he was
showing at the fair. She messaged me,
" You should buy this goat. " They talked
me into it, and we bought [our fi rst
goat] Lightning at the fair.
Lightning is very loving, but he
can be very demanding, and he's very
ornery. When I try to open the gate,
he's like, " Let me out! " And as I hold
the gate, he starts headbutting it. He
likes a lot of attention. Uni is still kind
of skittish, and then Jerry [is] a very
loving goat. Benjamin, my donkey, is
adorable and very loving. He lets my
daughter brush him.
72 Q ICBA Independent Banker Q December 2021
They're pretty easy to take care
of. [The goats] like to climb and
that sort of thing, so I think [you
should] just have a good area for
them. We have these concrete blocks
that they like to lay on outside. I
would recommend goats for a small
outdoor pet.
