Wait, that's not a goat! Oh yeah there may be other animals out there somewhere in the world that are not goats, not many grant you, but there may be some. Pretty foal!

Well Maizy pup got spayed last Thursday, Nautilus got gelded Saturday. All are doing well. Today is weaning day for the lambs... that's going to be a wet nasty job. Hope we can get everyone's hooves checked, trimmed, vaccinate and dewormed. We will see. My good neighbor is coming to help. We have had 3 mostly dry days but pens are still a muddy mess. Nasty storms are headed our way tonight. They are saying wind gusts of 100+ mph. May be interesting. Will leave you with more pictures.

Well the lambs were caught, vaccinated and dewormed. My poor neighbor got hit in the face with some little horns... but she's ok. I told DH I am letting the ewes go until we get better working system set up. Took 2 yealings to be processed this morning. Need to fill the freezer.

Bunnies are almost weaned,they got their nails trimmed, pictures taken and decisions made, now just need to get them tattooed.... maybe DH can help with that. Have 1 pet one spoken for.

Been working on weeding the garden, we had over 13" of rain in june! Have harvested lettuce, onions,zucchini and a couple of cherry tomatoes.

This morning got bunnies nails trimmed, new photos and ears measured. Am changing my mind on which boy is a keeper. .. lots of interest but only have sold 1. And though I tattooed them need to try again as it didn't take...
On the sheep front am battling Ivermectin resistant parasites. .. hopefully winning. Lost Garnet one of my bottle babies but all others appear to be improved with their anemia.
Took my cl ad for two of the ewe lambs down as I decided to keep amythst after loosing Garnet. So only have sapphire up for sale. Had 1 guy interested in amythst but didn't hear back from him , after I told which days that week I was available and sent my phone info over a week ago. Anyways he emailed me this week wanting my address.... still nothing about when... so I told him she wasn't available anymore and I don't send address until time is scheduled. He took the time to email me and call me a dumb a** because he took two days off to pick her up this week...I still don't have a clue as to the when that was glad it didn't work out. I guess he assumed an email =a sale???
Farrier came and trimmed horses hooves, including Remi, he wasn't bad for his first trim. Wasn't great but not bad. Naut is So happy as he is with his girls now.
