Nissan is here. She literally drug hubby to the barn once she hopped out of the truck. :weee I don't think she likes the rain.

She is up there now in a stall with some hay. She is a bit freaked out but am sure she will calm down. Such a pretty girl, I just love her freckled ears. I can't wait to see those babies!

I don't think Jack stole that leg from the neighbors, it was pretty ripe. :ep

I had a wonderful day at Rolls, she is an amazing cook! :bow Even something as simple as vegetable soup and bread was just fabulous.

Hubby got the fascia boards on the garage today. The rain held off just long enough.

Football today pretty much SUCKED!!!!!!!!!! Bengals, Colts, Cowboys..... :rant

Just so you know on my new favorite TV show DR. POL there was an episode where a dog eat part of a deer on the side of the rd and the DR said rancid deer meat is one of the worst things for a dog to eat so just watch him and make sure he doesn't get sick. I am glad to hear you got Nissan home and I hope she has some really nice kids for you. I can not wait to see Bullitt's first kids. I think I could go visit Kim and Jeff once a week and never get bored.

Glad you enjoyed it, Jodie....we sure can do a lot of talking :lol:

Can you believe Patch's ligs are back / firm as can be now? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You don't have to kiss Nissan goodnight like Roger has to do Freeney....but do tell her hello from me from time to time.

Nissan was munching and hay and doing well this morning. She ran (waddled is more like it :gig) away from so I don't think is too pleased with the situation yet. She will fit in just fine with my fiesty goats.

Roger, thanks for the heads up. The deer leg wasn't rancid, just well aged. I will be careful about that, the dogs have a tendency to eat anything they find in the fields and some of the summer only fields occasionaly have dead deer and other things in them.

Rolls has such nice well behaved goats and she gives me her troublemaker. :lol: I will love her anyways.

Patch is just trying to milk the attention. Hubby says they love hanging out in the kidding pen Hilton.

Goats are loving the new pasture I opened up in the front field. They didn't even finish thier hay bale.

It is raining again. I am sick of muddy barnyards and wet feet. :tongue

More rain! I had to drive through about a foot of running water to get home last night. The creek was once again up over the bridge. It is supposed to stop today and get cold. Come on show! The only way this muck is going away is if it freezes. I had to give everyone hay the last few days because it was getting to mucky to venture out into the fields. We have had so much rain I saw animals heading up the hill in pairs last night.

Nissan is working out her place in the herd. I went up to feed them last night and she had taken over!

My barn has an indoor area where we keep the hay and tractor. There is a hay rack that goes the length of the barn separating this from the stalls, which are open to the lee side. There is a section at the end where the hay rack is blocked off and there is a door into the barn area. You step up into the hay rack, open the door and go into a section about 12 wide and 16 deep. There is a short partition that separates this from the second bigger area, about twice that size.

Usually there are a few of my more docile does in the smaller area and everyone else in the bigger area. Last night I went in the barn and saw this mass of goat in the small area. I stepped up and looked over the door. The small area was packed! There are 20 does in that barn right now and it seemed every one of them was there. I was worried that something was wrong so I went in. I looked over the partition and there was Nissan, happily munching away on hay with just a few of the little ones with her. She must have kicked everyone else out. I am glad she is settling in but this was not what I expected. She didnt get into the mad rush for grain so she still hasnt got herself completely established but she is certainly making her presence known.

This morning I went to feed the girls and Jack in the front field. Jack was there but no goats in the shelter, no goats nearby. I called and shook the bucket but no goats! I got back in my car, and drove slowly along the road looking for them. It was dark, overcast and foggy. The road is one narrow lane. I cant turn the car much so all the light was straight down the road, not into the field. I see something that kind of looks white so I turn the car as much as I can and get out. There they all are, in the tall weeds eating happily. I guess once the rain stopped they went out. They see me and come to the fence, so I drive back to the shelter. There they all are, waiting for their grain. Dang goats, they made me late for work!

Tonight is the Christmas dinner for Northern Kentucky Goat Producers Association. Fried chicken yum!
