77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

Ok, since my post on the Goat section on Doe to Buck ratio's, the helpful info has got me to have my friend get four more Bucks and they will be Boers. I'm glad Boers are SO much easier to get, its like finding Angus cows.

Now for Farm 1, lol. We are keeping the Nubian's as whats two more mouths and they are kinda old. I think one of them is ten and the other seven I believe.

And dude, good luck finding restraint on this board. We are ALL a bunch of enablers.

It's not hoarding if:

*They are all different colors
* They are different breeds
* You have a different color of each breed
* They have different personalities
* It is Tuesday
* The sun is out
* You can still see the ground
* You know this guy that's building an ark.

.... I could go on but really those are all totally valid and logical choices to have a as Rolls puts it a "goobermillion" animals.

Thanks SuburbanFarmChic for the list of excuses for having more animals and not feeling guilty!

Ok, seriously in what sound mind would you think it wise to bring your dog with you to a strangers farm and then leave the window down halfway and not think he can escape.... Sitting enjoying some breakfast as the kids milk their lambs and then I hear a crash, bleating, an unfamilar dog barking, then my dogs start barking. I jump up grab my shotgun grab a quick handful of ammo and run outside loading with Raven and Chief right behind me barely controlling themselves. I see a medium sized border collie cross "Goldern in color" chasing and bitting my whethers and pygmies.
Then I see the high school girls come running out of the main barn, yelling "Cody, NO".

I see Brat in the adjacent pen running in circles as she had jumped the fencing and certainly no guard llama. I have no clear shot and go in the pen with the girls screaming at me in the back round not to hurt "Cody the dog". Cody is having a field day harassing my goats as I approach. It probably took me a few minutes to catch that dog and very nearly put my dogs on him but soon enough I tackled him and drug him out. Turns out the dog belongs to Chantrel and "Cody" had never jumped out of the car before.
I told her to leave for the day and if I see that dog on my property again, he won't be returning home. Of course Chantrel was Allisons ride so I sent her off.

Checked the goats out for a bit and there aren't any major injuries, some scratches and tuffs of hair gone. I think they were more scared. I couldn't catch Brat as she is in the large pasture with the Horses now, I hope they don't mind her around, if they even see her. I did manage to get kicked by Brat, lovely animal. So fun morning so far, still had to finish off milking the lambs as their bottles lay on the ground.

Up date, told the kids to take the afternoon off. I didn't want to have to deal with them, I just had them bottle feed and then go home.

I must of got the plague.

Quite frankly, they're pretty lucky you didn't shoot their dog. First they kill your cria because of stupidity and then more stupidity leads them to bring a dog to your farm!

No, I was whinning about the lack of responses, but now that I know the site was on the fritz all is good.
