Misfitmorgan's Journal - That Summer Dust

[misfitmorgan]

Having 2 bucks like Big Boy and this one wouldn't be a bad thing....and maybe could help ya out with breeding fees from others needing new blood in their herds up that way....

If only i could convince DH that i need two new bucks for 2 adult does and 3 doelings..... There is also the actual money and travel/logistics. We have no trailer so would have to borrow one etc...last time it ended up costing up $200 in gas. I want him, I showed him to DH and he doesnt want him. He hates dappled, spotted, full color etc in boer.

Hmmmm seems to me you and DH are on a different page on some things. Sorry this one isn't do-able for you, since it's obviously something you really wanted.

I could cry right now.

This is exactly what i have been looking for in a buck for 2yrs and AFTER i buy big boy here it is...and at a reasonable price

Christmas present to yourself

I showed him to DH and he doesnt want him. He hates dappled, spotted, full color etc in boer.

You can always dye him a solid color

DH knows i want him and he often does stuff....for me...so there is a sliver of a chance. That would mean we would have 3 bucks for our 2 adults and 3 doelings......thats good goat math right?

On another note....Ivy jumped our brand new 47" tall fence DH wants to murder her literally. She is my favorite goat but wow i never thought she would be able to jump that. She did bend over the top of the fence. I am planning on putting more hotwire up but i dont know if that will keep her in either. I'm more worried about her hurting herself then being loose, she doesnt go near the road.

So after she broke out....she broke the door knob on the shop....let the new goats,Big Boy, Mrs. pig and a runt pig loose.

Our Foster kid named one of the new does Latte. I am thinking about Snow White for the second because she is a black traditional boer, so white body and black head. They are not super friendly but they are ok with people and will let you touch them.

Some pictures of the fence

Nice decorative boulder you put in the corner for the animals' enjoyment! And good thing you have sheep in there. Goats would be launching onto that rock and over the fence.

So the only way to get in there is to go through the barn?? Yeah that could be inconvenient.

 

[misfitmorgan]

The rock is actually a lot bigger and steeper then it looks, there are goats in there, they are in the shed. They are not actually able to climb the boulder that i have ever seen though not from lack of trying, its 5+ft tall.

Even better the back side of the shed which was completely open when we moved in has a sheet of tin running across it with an approximately 1.5ft gap at the top of it. That blue thing in the middle is the grain trough...which we can't really get to and the round blue thing by the shed is the water trough which again we cant really get too. If DH had said before sooner we were not putting a gate of any type in the fence I would have moved then to the edge before i was locked out. Problem is...the tin is to tall for me to get in the pasture without getting injured in a place i dont want tin. Hopefully DH is planning on gate buildings this weekend.

Left to right, Oreo, polypay, sweetie, 310 or 308, captain(ram), big ram, 294, ram lamb....308 or 310 is in the shed with phoebe and fate.

The new does are officially latte and espresso, i will get you pics eventually i'm sure. It was snowing/ice pelting when i got home yesterday ....luckily it melted off within about 40 minutes.

Big Boy, Latte, espresso and the new little buck are all in the barn, with the pigs, chickens and ducks.

That is a pretty buck. I don't blame you for wanting him, but y'all have to be together on that. He might be gone by now. But if he isn't...… maybe an early Christmas present?

He has been posted for almost a month....i'm hoping he doesnt sell for a coupe more weeks then i could get him. DH said yesterday that we just don't have the funds atm....so maybe if we had funds he would let me get him.
