Happened to quick to catch. (Of course I'm the kid who's gumball always rolled out of the gumball machine and onto the floor.) Had to pick it up off the ground.
Which do you usually do? The scoop it up bit, or the catch it in your bare hand bit?Did you scoop it up or catch it in your bare hand? I usually do.

I've caught more that a few berries in my bare hand.

I'm sure with practice I'll get faster. Now, if the goats would just poo on demand....I've caught more that a few berries in my bare hand.

msDeb, had a vet teach me that if you hold a goat and put your hand over their nose and "hold their breath" for about 30 seconds or so that most will get nervous and squat to pee then poo. works most of the time but i feel bad doing that to them so mostly i wait. don't we learn weird things as we go thru life, lol

One more major victory in our battle with the easy-build-it-yourself goat shed. Got the tin roof on today. Yay! We were supervised by Tripod, Hazel and Rita. Also, Tripod managed to knock over each tin panel we had leaned against the fence.
In other news, Tripod (who now walks on all four legs and I'm thinking of changing her name to Spawn of Saten) has taught Hazel to stick her head through the bottom rectangle of the fence. The tiny one. So as I attempted to run some more wire through the bottom of the gate Max (who was out grazing) decided to take an interest. In me. I can now add "Get over here, I'm being pissed on by a horney goat." to the list of things I never thought I'd say. Please accept my apologies for not taking a picture.
