Sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side...

Just look at all that pretty green grass waiting to be eatin...


My nice neighbors let me walk Tulip & Star over to their pasture to help their cow eat all this nice pretty grass. Yesterday was their 1st day over there, I walked em over around 1:00 & walked em back home around 4:30... today I walked em over around 10:00 & I'll bring em back home around the same time as yesterday, guess this will be our lil schedule.

I think its very nice of my neighbors to share their pasture... the girls & I really do appreciate it. I could just keep em down in the barnyard & feed em hay, but my neighbor says why when they have all this grass to eat, lol. Guess all that grass is helpin milk production... they gave me 2 quarts this mornin. Usually they give me 1.5 quarts, so go ahead & eat up girls ;)









Happily munchin away when I left...

Hummm... wonder what the cow thinks of Tulip & Star?

Heres some lil updates on whats goin on here lately... we are buildin a goat house (addin it on to the chicken shack), I've been collectin 15-16 eggs a day. Princess Porchop is doin great, shes still the boss of the barnyard. Annabel & Elli Mae are doin just fine too, they are lil sweeties... I've been doin some thinkin lately & I may have to find these two a new home, makes me alittle sad but I have someone nice in mind who I know would give em a good home & I would still see em almost every day. The reason I've been thinkin about all this is because I know I cant have alot of goats here & I really really want to keep dairy goats... Annabel & Ellie Mae are not dairy goats, I wish they were since they are my 1st goats... I've got some thinkin to do & stuff to straighten out... keep ya posted.

PS... The Goodwife & her family came over to visit last Sunday, she got to see the girls & she trimmed their hooves for me.

  3. Whoo hoo! That will help put some weight back on Star too, nothing is better for them than fresh browse and grass!

  4. Now there is a couple of happy goats! So good for them too. I know exactly what you are going through in your mind with the other goats. If they aren't what you want, then they really are just eating, and eating, and eating. That is great if you have someone who would take good care of them.

  5. Pasture is the best thing for a ruminant's health~way better than hay. You have a great neighbor!
