Other than being stinky they trim up just the same.

I suggest you wear a glove on the hand you use to hold his leg when you do the front- it will take you forever to wash the smell of your hand if you don't!

The problem is he's a butt about being caught. Do I tie him up first or maybe get someone to hold him while I'm doing it? He's not mean, but he doesn't like to be caught & I know he won't stay still for me easily lol.

Oh man... chasing goats is my least favorite thing to do. Yes, once you catch him just clip him to the fence if you don't have your stanchion built yet. Or get a helper. Or both!

Thanks elevan. Hope yours was great as well!

Grrr. Do you ever get aggravated with people when they give you "advice"?

Some "friend" on my facebook page told me I should stop growing imaginary crops & do something with my life because I'm a smart girl lol. Hmmm, I guess I'm smart enough to know I LIKE raising animals, growing gardens/my own food, and being there for my kids while they grow up?? Why would I want to be a worker drone somewhere for someone else's outfit? Granted, I do work outside the home part time because mini-farming does not pay good money & my kids need clothes & shoes & stuff. There are more important things in life than making a buck. Not to mention if anyone has viewed the payscale chart & the way it's changed in the past 20 or so years I wouldn't make enough money for throwing my life away as a worker drone to be worthwhile unless I was a CEO or in the top 1% of the US income bracket. Plus living in the boonies and gas prices being so high would require me to spend a good portion of what I make DRIVING to said job to make pitiful wages. Well, thanks for letting me vent here.

On another note this hot/cold shifting weather is finally catching up with me. Getting my first head cold and/or flu of the season. Goaties & human kids are all doing well. Trying to catch up on some housework today while feeling like crud because we'll have an out of town visitor this week.

Very true. We took a large hit when I quit my job with DH's blessing. Life isn't about money or the things that you can buy with it. As long as I can pay my bills, feed my family and have a little left over then I'm quite happy. Happier now than when I was a drone for an idiot.

Speaking as a drone for an $*%& - MORE POWER TO YOU! If I could walk away from my job I would in a heart beat.

I read once "behind every sucessful farmer is a wife that works in town"......no kidding
