The goats are getting accustomed to grazing. After they have their breakfast of pellets, they feed the kids then stand at the gate waiting to be let out. Right now I attach a 20' lead to some of their collars (the flighty ones) so I can catch them if I have to. CB & Dot can be let out without a lead as they are not skittish and will let me walk up to them and pet them or take them by the collar and lead them where I want them. CC is OK for the most part but sometimes gets scared and runs back to the gate or runs to go check on her kid. Bang and April still need a lead attached. I let Moose out on a lead with April at the other end and they were like a danged boomerang spinning in circles getting everyone all tangled up. A leaf would move from the wind and Moose would spook, which would cause April to spook, and the two of them running would make the rest all run as well because they thought something was wrong. 
He'll (Moose) be leaving to join the Devonviolet crew here later this week.
I let RJ out and he was a trip. He wandered around like he was lost, not knowing what he was supposed to do. I pulled down some willow branches, oak branches, and sweet gum so he could get a taste. I think that and him seeing the others go on a feeding frenzy when I did that helped him to finally figure it all out. For as big as he is, he sure doesn't appear to eat very much... I'd say right now he has to be closing in on 180-200 pounds. He's a heavy, powerful goat. I gauge his weight from the amount of pain in my feet when he stands on one
Same with Mel... He doesn't eat very much at all and holds steady at 135-140. Luckily, both are well mannered and easily handled.
I'm loving these kids!
They are all so friendly and come running over to me to be picked up and held. They all jump up on me and their little hooves are getting rather sharp, and my laundry basket is getting rather full. Their hooves are generally covered in wet poop and I end up wearing a lot of it. 
Dot's boys are growing so fast and getting BIG! I don't think they're gonna love me as much after tomorrow... it's 1st CD&T shot time for all but the newest kid, that is just a week old.
I went out to TSC today to get some feed and had received a 10% off total purchase coupon in my Email. Last time I didn't need to bring it as they had one at the register and just scanned that one. This time I get all wrung up with 7 bags of feed, a bag of dog food, 2 new feed buckets and a vial of goat CD&T and she says I need to have the coupon
Then she says I can call it up on my phone... I left the damned phone at home on the charger! So I have to run back home, print out the coupon then run back to TSC. The coupon expires the end of the month and I don't expect to need anything else between now and then.

Says right on the ticket that pictures and images can not be used as evidence. 
Is not video a sequential set of images flashed at a frame rate to impart motion? And of course photos are obviously pictures... 
My fencing would have stood up by itself, but I thought it'd be better to give it an assist. It's pretty taught, but I doubt it's as tight as that in the video. I don't have a skid steer or forks to pull it up on hills or down in valleys.
