Look at those happy goats out on pasture!!! That looks so wonderful, your fence looks good and the goats are enjoying themselves. Mel is acting like he knows he is top dog around there. we won't tell Mel he is the only dog......LOL
I am happy for you that you got some hens. Let the chicken math begin.......

 I have a folding camp chair set up about 1/2 way down the pasture in the shade of that big old oak tree (near my compost pile). I sit there in the shade and just watch them play for a while. They were bouncing off the adults and running when the adults would try to chase them away. Teasing Mel to the point that Mel actually took off running after the group at one point. Had to yell at him for that. It's OK for them to run but NOT OK for Mel to run chasing them. I now need to really get him a big playmate/workmate/partner. A dog big enough for him to get (and give) a good workout. Been looking a little on CL to see what's available.

They were very quiet and calm the whole trip. They are still calm and I've already gotten my first 2 eggs today. I figure that's a good sign since I just got them yesterday.

I figure that's a good sign since I just got them yesterday. They were going to bring me the kidding box and disbudding iron for my last kid and a case of 6, 1/2 gallon mason jars for milk. I was going to make them grilled chicken breasts with salad and give them 4 gallons of goat milk to bring home. Since they couldn't make it,  she offered her DH to meet me 1/2 way to do an exchange, but it didn't make sense for both of us to drive so I just went over there and we swapped the stuff at their place. I have all my empty quart jars and the new 1/2 gallon jars in the dishwasher getting ready to be used starting tomorrow.

There are TV providers now that are offering limited channel selection where you pick and choose but they don't offer a lot of the channels that the big providers do, and to get the channels I would want, would work out to almost as much as what I'm paying now. So what's the difference? I'm paying for 200+ channels including regular as well as HD and out of them all I think there's maybe a dozen that I routinely watch. But of that dozen, they are broken down into 4 or 5 different "tiers" that must be purchased in order to watch them all.

I'm forced to pay for the crap in order to watch the stuff I want to watch. <sigh>
