Fred D and life on the Lazy D

[CntryBoy777]

Don't feel strange....I talk to mine also. We use to have 3, but are down to 2.....both are wethers and are pygmy/boer crosses, they are both 3yrs old....we lost our 11yr old FB pygmy doe a couple of wks ago from an unfortunate accident. I really do like your shelter and agree with @greybeard that it is brilliant!!.....

If you make it a "habit" to have some animal crackers in your pockets, or other treats you might find they like, pretty soon they'll be helping you out anytime you're in the pasture with them. They make excellent builders and will help you move your hand tools around, etc. They'll try to "lead" you to where they think you're headed... watch your step an of course they'll have their noses glued to your pockets trying to figure a way to get those treats. The better to access their heads and necks for a scratch! I find that mine really like it when i do full side scratches over their ribs and when I scratch their rear legs on the sides. They get a little more cautious when I reach for their heads.

The white/blue is little Boy blue. The other female is Calamity Jane.

Amazing what treats can do to make friendly animals!

(Seemingly) devoid of trees inside your fence. I like it!

 

[FRED DESANTIS]

You're correct. The only trees are outside the wire. The gentleman I purchased the land from grew wheat here.
