Goatgurl - life goes on at someday farm

[goatgurl]

@Bruce ya know sometimes when your young and foolish munchies happen, just sayin'.
well boys and girls my goat breeding season started with a bang. choco has been separated from the girls for about a month now so I could hand breed everyone and know for sure due dates but the old man reverted back to his foolish ways and climbed into the feed trough in his pen and up and over the fence he went. sooo i'll be having kids born earlier that I expected. dang his dirty hide. I know at least two of the five are bred and suspect a third. time will tell I guess.
have the ram lamb in with the ewes and at this point he just doesn't seem to interested. guess he isn't as mature as last years ram lamb so looks like i'll have early goat kids and late lambs. what is it they say about the best laid plans of mice and men...
taking this years wether lamb and the old ewe to freezer camp on the 16th. yea for summer sausage. I always am able to get big cow bones for the dogs when I go there. they love their knuckle bones as well as the big leg bones. sometimes it looks like a dinosaur died in my goat pen. its all fun and games until I have to pick them all up.
till next time youall take care

DANG HIS DIRTY HIDE ANYWAY!!!!! That stinker! I'm thinkin' next year a six foot barrier wall might be in order!

 

[goatgurl]

silly me I thought he had matured enough to be trusted. hu, wrong again. never trust a horn dog male anything. next year he will be back the super tall, super strong horse panel pen I have up in front of the house that's full of ducks right now. I guess I need to take some of the blame after all i'm the one who put him there and left the trough by the fence. I should have known better. coulda, shoulda, woulda...

Well, ya never now just how it will all turn out....ya just might be thankful it turned out this way when the time comes....could be better weather, or they could be anticipating the Doe/Ewe code and factoring it in ahead of time.....guess time will tell......

Every time I think I have a decent plan laid out I immediately start drawing up Plan B since I'm pretty sure Plan A won't work how I want.

 

[Baymule]

Does it ever work out the way you planned?

 

[goatgurl]

been a while, not really anything new. got the sheeple back from the butcher shop. don't you wish lamb chops were as big as T-bones. I just love them but I can sure eat more than one at a time. I guess if a sheep was as big as a steer i'd never be able to handle and take care of it so its a moot point.

just have to say, I love southern funerals. friend of mines DH passed away the other day and they had his funeral at the small town church he attended and then on to the country cemetery a few miles down the road. beautiful service, even the Baptist preacher didn't talk for an hour which is hard for them. please no offence intended but we all know that Baptist preachers can talk for a while. going down the highway from the church to the cemetery every car, truck and big rig pulled over to the side of the road in a show of respect. made my heart swell that in this busy world it is so good to see that not all traditions have died. old friends greeted one another as if it was last week instead of 10 years since we last saw one another. as funerals go this was a good one

And what's a Southern funeral without a big meal for the family? I've seen it where people just showed up at the family's home with food, coffee, paper plates, cups and plastic forks, and someone was there to record who brought what so thank you cards could go out. And I've seen it where the family went to the church and ladies of the church put on a meal for the family. Nothing says love like food.

There is nothing wrong with eating 2 or 3!!!

 

[goatgurl]

you're right @Bruce there's not a thing wrong with eating 2 or 3, and I do that frequently. i'd like to raise lambs who's back was 3 or4 feet long and had a bunch of extra ribs so I could have way more off each lamb.

and yes @Baymule you always have to have a big dinner after the funeral. folks from the church, the community and friends from other places all come together to eat, visit and remember. it was nice.
