    My goats made me look bad....

    I had a guy stop at our house on Sunday and asked if I could catch some goats that were milling around in the cemetary of his church. After following them into the woods that was covered with green briar, I found where I thought they had escaped from and told the owners that their goats were...

    Does anyone else get a workout when

    I built a milking stand for my wethers ( I have no females.), so now I just put them on the stand and trim away. Yes, there is still some kicking especially on the back hooves, but it is so much easier than trying to tie them up the way I used to. I trimmed the hooves on all four of them the...

    And now I know why...

    One of our twins would jump on my back whenever I had to bend over to pick something up. Those little hooves really dig in and hurt. Thankfully it didn't take long to break him of it.

    Argh! Neighbor frusterations!

    I can relate, since we have a donkey of a neighbor ourselves. First he called the Sheriff and said our guinea was pooping in his pool. Then he called the Sheriff and said that my duck ate some of his grass. (Weeds in the woods are what she got into.) I did sell that pair of ducks last weekend...

    Found: Boer doeling - Update: We found her owner!!

    He had her tethered. He said there were kids on 4-wheelers going past a lot that day so he felt they did it. I advised him that tethering isn't a good idea around here with the stray dogs and coyotes. He said that he has large dogs that keep them away. I was kind of wondering where his large...

    Found: Boer doeling - Update: We found her owner!!

    Being a goat owner myself, I can only imagine how upset the man was that his baby was missing. I was determined to do everything I could to find whose goat she was. It was kind of bittersweet for me finding the owner since the day before my neighbor called about finding this goat last...

    Found: Boer doeling - Update: We found her owner!!

    We found her owner, I am so glad. That man and that baby goat were definitely happy to see each other. The was an obvious bond between them. Whoo hoo. Someone he knew saw my ad in the paper about a found doeling and told him to call to see if it was his. He was able to describe her to a tee.

    Found: Boer doeling - Update: We found her owner!!

    Didn't find the owner yet. We put up flyers in Tractor Supply and the local coop. I also put two ads on Craigslist and in the local paper. I wish I could keep her, she is beautiful and very friendly. I have Nigis though, so with her being a large breed and having horns growing, it wouldn't be...

    Found: Boer doeling - Update: We found her owner!!

    A person down the road from me found a Boer doeling standing next to the highway a couple of days ago. She left me a note in my door asking me to call her about a goat. I brought her some hay, probios, minerals, and some feed. She is willing to keep the baby until we find the owner if we can. If...

    Unidentified flying objects - LOTS of goat pics

    Very cool story!! Hubby was chuckling as he saw it. Maybe all these cute goatie pics lately will make hubby want some more. It was his idea to get the last two that we have. I make sure to show him every baby pic that everyone posts. I really want some doelings. Well, I can dream, can't I? LOL

    Worst day ever: Dog attack Bella stopped eating.

    :hugs :hit It is so sad when people are irresponsible with their dogs. I feel very bad for you. At least she had a wonderful life with your family. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow.

    So excited - new goats are home... pics pg 3

    Wow, was that high selling one made of gold? That is incredible. I thought $500-600 was bad.

    goat and a dog?

    I have a black lab mixed with something, possibly pit bull. She is only 30 pounds, but very solid and built like a tank. She has been in with my goats full-time from sun-up to sun-down since last July. She comes in the house at night after the goats are locked up each night. They really seem to...

    Spider wanted to talk to you......(update & new pics page 3)

    I started posting a reply and it disappeared. My hubby and I have been following your story of Spider and his siblings. I was in tears when I saw that he had died. You should be commended for all that you are doing, you are a very special person. Hopefully these new babies do well for you, they...
