We let them know and they do - they love their horses and I have a feeling some words were said by the wife to the husband.

I need to get some more current pictures of them. Their mom is taming right down since we have our tamest ewe keeping her company but they are skittish.

as my mama always said "patience is a virtue". they'll get there. my problem is I've never been very virtuous. patience has never been one of my strong points.
I read somewhere that you wondered about setting goats on their rumps to trim hoofs like you do a sheep and I can tell you first hand that no one ever was able to set a goat on its butt and live to tell the tale, lol. they don't take to kindly to that. I put mine on the milk stand and go around one hoof at a time and get them done. I would think that someone who had a big herd of meat goats might be wise to use a tilt table but I never have.

We have a friend who has a large herd of large sized Boers who got a tilt table like ours after seeing ours in use and they said it was one of those why did they wait that long moment. I can't imagine working on our ram without one. He outweighs me by 100 pounds and is a wholllllllleee lot younger.

The "To-Do" list is one project and that is to get the tree that came down in our latest storm off of some lanes that I need to use on a daily basis. They are on both sides of a storm drain ditch. I though we had two trees come down but on looking at it this morning, it is one huge tree with multiple trunks that split in half. Also attached is the black lambs. They act differently than the rest of ours and are more independent of their mom.
I just had to include a picture of Lance with his Professor look.

looks like a good sized tree to cut up!

It is but the neighbors that will be getting the wood will help with that. I just went down and flattened out all of the furrows around it so the mud will dry out enough to be able to work around it.

my goats would be drooling over a tree like that if it was available in our pasture
