Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Love the new goat and dog. What a freckled guy! And yeah, that doe isn't gonna put up with any crap from a buck... Looks to be a nice size doe. I love Boers. They are generally pretty mild mannered -- good thing with their size. Some of my bucks were over 300 & a few of my does were 225-250. Hey, meat goats.

I think we horse owners always "try" to help when one (or 3) get loose. They can be wild when scared but mostly just want to be told they are OK...and handled cautiously. They do panic when loose on a highway.

Finishing my coffee, going to go out and do morning chores. Beautiful dog @MatthewsHomestead I hope he makes as good of a farm dog as he is pretty. Love the captured horse story @frustratedearthmother I bet that guy was real grateful!

Oh, he was grateful and a bit embarrassed, lol! Beautiful horse, but a little too much for the beginner that owned him.

Woke to zero vis fog this morning. Still that way! Has lifted a little...was at maybe 100' and now I can see about 300'. Yeah, really heavy. Fog is kind of an odd feeling.

Otherwise, temps nice in low70s, going to mid 80s. They say we will have 4 days of mid-upper 90's with high humidity starting tomorrow. Geesh, had hoped it was over -- guess not. But no rain with it and hay field across road was cut yesterday. I love to watch him bale. He has the equipment that bales, collects and stacks all at on sweep. Cool!! He drives along, then just takes a huge load out at once. Bet that cost a bundle. Wont' get to watch this week -- back to work tomorrow.

Need to work out here today -- lift fog, lift!

he was raised on a farm around the same or similar critters so fingers crossed..... he didn't show any interest in chasing my chickens...that's a plus. And he does bark if anyone pulls in the driveway. I've never trained a working dog though for farm use so ANY tips are highly welcome.
(The Hubbs has now claimed him as his football buddy! SMH)

Yeah, about that training a farm dog...….right there with ya' on that. I am having fun with our dog Beaux. Glad that your dog is not interested in the chickens, mine has taken down 4 so far.....

I think the Hubbs' has partially claimed him. Glad I'm not in trouble for bringing him home! I wish I could get my Nubian doe to put some meat on her bones.......

 

[MatthewsHomestead]

So getting that doe was one of the best things we have done so far. We gave $25 for her and she is worth that twenty times over! No more issues AT ALL with our buck!!!Anyone can walk through their pasture without ANY risk. His manners are so greatly improved!

Now to figure out what materials I have so I can make a slow feeder for the hay....
