We MAY have tested out the 4wd snow wheeling in our yard. So redneck doesn't bother me. Our daughter asked if we needed to test it some more... In the other part of the yard. Good girl!

Side note. The goats do NOT like it when you drive a vehicle where they do not believe vehicles belong. pigs do not mind.

My darling super overweight herd queen has decided she doesn't want to share grain with anyone else. Guess I'm going to start running interference during meal time! She and my other Nigie truly don't need grain. My minis are still less than a year and need it... Grr time for separate feedings.

She's been a pain lately. She's almost 9... She needs to be happy with her retirement home and show a little appreciation! Lol​

She needs to practice an attitude of gratitude! Goats, lol!

Mine is going on 10 and it is the opposite problem with the Boys keeping her from anything I give them...don't feed much grain at all....but, I have to 'Protect' her while she eats and she is just Soaking up the extra attention......she has even started coming up to me and nipping at my sleeve to give her some scratchings....I have to work on a separated feeding area away from the Boys so she can eat in Peace tho she does prefer 'Hand Feeding'....

I had a wether like that. He had to go. He was super aggressive with the other goats though.

I don't know what her deal is. When I got her it was awesome how friendly she was and now it's annoying because we have to fight her off us so the others can have attention. I'm not a fan of this bottle baby in your face friendly stuff. She's also a jumper, as in jumps on people. She was a 4H goat so she is very people oriented. But seriously lady! Lol. I do love her though.

Well tonight everyone got to eat except the one I really want to eat! Lol Peppermint is right on the edge of being big enough to breed this year. She's a little wild (not with people, she's just boisterous) and the herd queen does NOT like her.

Our friend who lives about a mile down the road lost 12 chickens last night. He had a pair of Weasels. He saw them on his security camera, unfortunately after the fact. He shot one but is setting a trap for the other. Twelve dead and a few missing he thinks but he has so many it's hard to do a head count. Terrible little creatures!

Sure hope he Gets it!!

Oh man. Does he know how they got in so he can block that opening? Doesn't take much of a hole for a weasel.
