B&B Happy Goats....journal

[Southern by choice]

Just love the pictures and the BYH community meeting up with each other.
It really is special to see so much care for one another from people that would never have met otherwise.
Our critters seem to open the doors for such great friendships all over the country.

Well, I don't believe that he'll melt, if he gets wet.........and since this is summer weather for him....it is like swimming without having to go to a beach.........however, he has earned a couple of easy days, so he can catch his breath, we don't want to send him home all wore out....they'll never let him come visit again if we do that....

Well i will confess before Bruce posts the pictures... Sir Rockey did pee on me ....firtst my leg...no major problem. Second time was as i was bent down holding him while the vet was cutting his second scur...this time on the right side of my face, neck and hair.......gosh, I love that buck

And he loves you!

The rain kindly did stop before we started on the goat chores next door. First up

Two bucklings born this morning. Here is @B&B Happy goats holding one.

Next we fashioned some makeshift barriers for 2 stalls so the mommas and their kids could have some private space.
Also put a tarp on the gate to block the one to breeze.

Still 1 more to kid, she's really big

After that the vet showed up (had an emergency call that held him up). Rocky was brought out

Then brought over to B&B's for the deed



Lest you think I did nothing useful while this was going on, I was dutifully holding the hot iron and making sure I didn't fry myself while taking pictures. After that picture was taken I handed the iron off and held the back end of the goat down while the vet did a little cleanup on the second horn. Small goats are surprising strong.

There really is a buck in there somewhere.

Now that is a situation that the definition of "buck" could really have "importance"....
