Great feeder, I built one out of wire but my goaties keep climbing it. That is much more efficient!

Rachel won another contest at the Z Town Farmers Market.
They had Honey Bee week last time, and Rachel submitted Honey Pecan Goat Cheese
Since my last post we've sold 6 goats. Sold two wethers together as pets, sold Cookies doeling from this spring with a wether as a companion, and sold my 3 year old doe Daisy with her doe kid from this spring.
Rosemary's buckling is sold just waiting for him to get old enough.
Only one more to sell and that's Caspian a 4 year old buck.
We will have our numbers down to 22.
Starting to get ready for the Mountain State Fair Sept 12th and 13th.

Daisy was tough. Very fond of that little goat. I took her to her new home on Saturday.
She'll be good though. She was low goat on the totem pole at our place, and got pushed around a lot. It will be her and her daughter together. New owner is a 11 year old girl. She's home schooled and her mom and dad thought having some livestock would be educational. She's got some chickens and turkeys too.

I just did a quick count, we got up to 39 goats and we are selling off 17 to get down to 22. I think 22 is a good number for us.

I feel your pain, OFA. I'm at 32 now having recently sold 7 or so, with at least 10 more to go. I would really like to get under 20 - but I haven't been that low in 20 years. I wouldn't know what to do with so few goats...
