Oh we had goat once here. Same goat. It was REALLY good! Or should I say we had ROAD KILL. It's the goat that Tim ran over with is truck :lol: Last time he roasted it in the oven. This time it's the crock pot. :hu

And it's 5 days to lambing, plus or minus about 17 days...:lol:

Maybe you just need to close your eyes? If the flavor is good...that's a GOOD thing!

Another exhausting day on the farm, trying to "thaw" things out! All the horses have auto heated waterers, but the sheep and goats and chickens don't. It didn't get above freezing today, so a lot of time was spent going around crushing ice, thawing hoses, using blow torches on spickets, trying to set up heated water troughs..

While everything around us was freezing up, I had a COMPLETE MELTDOWN!!! I lost it. I cried. :hit Tim came home with a load of corn and said we needed to move the Jacobs up from the creek because the edges were freezing up and he was afraid if they stepped on the ice they would be in trouble. He was right. But, once again, there is NO PLACE TO PUT THEM! Two pregnant sheep in one stall, pigs in another, O'Malley the sick sheep in another, and Bon Bon the other sick sheep roaming the corridor in front of the barn. So, once again we had to move everyone around. We put O'Malley back with the ig sheep. Put BonBOn on the "catwalk" behind the barn (remember that area Coco?). The jacobs are now roaming the corridor and have the one stall to go in if they get cold. So that means in the morning, while I'm trying to thaw out water faucets and buckets, I have to deal with BUTTHead Uriah trying to ram me.

I so Hate TIM right now. I told him "WHY COULDN'T YOU THINK OF THIS 6 MONTHS ago WHEN YOU GOT ALL THESE ANIMALS?"

That is all. :barnie
