She's not trying hard enough! get UP on those hind legs girl! You can DO it!

Oh she got them @Latestarter . SHe used Rosco's head to try to brace herself. This is the same goat that if you don't pay attention to HER, she will jump up on you like a dog. I have to watch her like a hawk when we have people out as the goats are usually out and come running to anyone... If the dogs sound the alarm they are back in their pen or by us They know the different barks. As do we. Rumely did a great job protecting them from a branch the other day It crashed down and he didn't see what made the noise so went off and they took off like they were going to get killed. He ran to where the noise came from and was on high alert. Sadie ran to the pen with the goats and sat in the gate doorway with the goats in the pen hollering. Stella aided Rumely in the barking and investigating. They are a pretty good team, all be it unconventional, if I do say so myself LOL.

Buck pen officially has all the posts in and we will be stretching wire next! Exciting times! Rosco gets weaned next weekend and that means more milk for meeeee. Well, cheese and soap

I've been drinking scarlets milk in a smoothie every morning and am loving it

 

[Hens and Roos]

That's great!

Scarlet gave an entire 4 cups this morning I think it is rewarding me for making the pen to get rosco in it and away from her haha. Just kidding. She still is nursing him like a champ.... It's going to be a rough weaning for the not so little guy.

and my lilacs have FINALLY bloomed

[Hens and Roos]
