I don't think DH's good manager had any way to know that the place in MA was a hellhole. Seems he was doing what he thought was best for DH and good for him to do so! He could have kept DH to himself and ignored DH's potential.

First fall frost of 2021.
I brought home two new goats last night. We have 7 dwarf does/doelings and 12 lamanchas, 1 noober doeling (and way too many bucks, 3 nigerians, 2 lamancha, and 1 noober-buckling). Counting today, 17 more days until goat transport day. 10 more days until we go to set up pens in the new place. And we close this Friday.
There's a bear hanging out on my road and last night the coyotes came up very close to the house and Bailey is not legally allowed to work nor are we allowed to shoot stuff. I hope we stay safe. I'm tempted to let Bailey bark all night our last 3 nights so they will remember us. I also still have my trusty air horn and bear spray collection (And baseball bat, which is more of an intimidation tool than anything else.) I left our town FB page because I got tired of people sharing pictures showing how great they were because they grew gardens for the bears and the bears came to enjoy them and similar activities like "cute" bears breaking into their neighbors beehives.
Where do they think the bears will go next when the gardens run out? McDonalds? Poor bears. Poor children of idiots who have to live here. I don't understand what's wrong with people.
CVI with vet on Wednesday. The two new girls already have theirs ready to go because their breeder is awesome.

The rest of the girls this morning, descending on the little red alfalfa wagon.

WTF!!!!! And I suppose they put out bird seed in the spring too. Probably too late for Darwin to take these people out before they breed.

Of COURSE they put out birdseed! All the time! That way when they run out of bird feeder they can go tear into chicken coops up and down the road too, as they do (I have an electric fence around my duck coop for just THIS reason).
I don't think it's the bears faults we're having bear trouble. They are totally habituated out here. It's like people forgot how to respect WILD animals.
