^ that's kind of how I feel about my rams. If they don't have horns they aren't worth keeping. Make nice handles too.
I could do with one having horns but not every one!. The little girls are treacherous as well with their pointy deadly little horns.

I could go for that. I really want to make sheep skin rugs and I don't want to breed both goats and sheep...guess that decision will come next year :)

I am so jealous of your rain I could spit!!

I loved your photos of your place, very beautiful.

We are dryer than a popcorn fart here in Oklahoma, if we don't get rain soon I expect another dust bowl.

Send some rain this way, please.

I've been itching to do that myself. When we take the next batch of wethers for butcher I think I'll have them salt down the hides for me and give it a go.

Popcorn fart. That is just a perfect description! LOL :lol:

We had a couple storms roll in over the last week or so.

Lost the top to a weird oak tree that needs to be cut down anyway. Its at least 6 feet wide at the base and doesn't branch out. The top looks like it has broken off before and was growing back strangely. Missed the smaller shed and shelter so that is good.

The tree in the back is where this mess came from.

The goats enjoyed the fresh leaves

My little chi Sprocket LOVES the rain and puddles!

Gunner enjoyed the water that ended up in the empty pool we are filling in next weekend.

Shallow end!

Saturday we drove up to Mendocino National Forest to pick christmas trees with my sister and her boyfriend. Played in the snow and scouted for bucks.

Sunday it cleared up and they took advantage of the mud...LOL I was very glad that I didn't have to clean this up!

The goats were rather happy that it was done raining as well.

A friend of ours works at the local Animal Control shelter and she brought me this rooster. I had no idea what to expect but I was shocked at how pretty he is! Consensus says that he is likely a Spangled Hamburg mix.

In other news...Drew secured a backhoe from work to fill our pool in. It will be here next weekend. Temporary poly tape fence is coming down and we are finally fencing it with wire. Poly tape will likely become a top runner to keep the horse off the fence. My sister wants to keep her horse at our place for a few months. He is a 14.2 black paint gelding, registered APHA. I LOVE him so I'm excited to have him here.
