The Goat Girls Get Their Yard Back

 I've had my goat girls just living in their pens for a few months and letting the horses have the whole barnyard... until yesterday. The horses are on one side of the barnyard and the goat girls on the other.  I've got 5 girls here now and they need room to run, 4 of them are bred, kidding season should start middle/end of February and go until May.  Sweet little Lily was running all over the place yesterday, it was so cute to watch her. 

Welcome Star Back Home

 I sold Star to my friend Stephanie on April 9, 2013... 6 months later shes back at Our Little Farm. Stephanie asked me a month ago if I knew anyone that would buy Star, I didnt but said I would if I had the money... I'm broke and left it at that.  Then she gets back to me with a deal... I get Star back and she uses Silo to breed Ruby Girl in December... sounds good to me.  Stephanie is leaning more towards the Alpine goats. Theres alittle pushing and shoving goin on down in the barnyard now that Stars here but I'm sure in a week everyone will know their place in the herd again... poor Cocoa & Silo dont know what to think they are just tryin to stay out of her and Tulips way.  

So now my herd is... 

Tulip, Star, Cocoa, Ringo (hes still dating some girls at Rachels farm) and Silo.

Poor lil Silo comes running to me when he sees Star coming his way

Ringo & Silo in the lil goat pasture

 I started locking up "The Goat Girls & Spirit" in their pen/house with water and hay of course in the evenings , then I let Ringo & Silo out of the buck pen/house to munch in the lil pasture for the rest of the evening and in the morning til I get out there and start on chores...  I'll just walked them back to the buck pen/house to spend their day with alittle grain, hay & water. Then let "The goat girls & Spirit back out into the lil pasture for the day. Think this is gonna work out just nicely. Everyone is Happy Happy. 

Ringo & Silo are lookin so great! Silo will be as big as Ringo before I know it!  Silo was born in March, hes a big boy... gonna make some beautiful big, strong babies next year. 

Why you dont bring your coffee to the barnyard...

...and if you bring it down to the barnyard dont plan on drinkin it yourself...

The goats LOVE 

coffee 

Goats and Garden Goodies

If your down in the garden"The goat girls and Spirit" will see ya, 

and they will come running for garden goodies

 I also pick them alittle treat... today it was red leaf lettuce.

 Sometimes I give them the tops to the radishes or beets.

Spirits happy with alittle red leaf lettuce too

Goats & Spools.......

 My honey & son moved some spools we used in our daughters wedding this weekend to the goat pasture for the goats to enjoy....... I think they like their new toys.   We covered the center hole of the spools so goat hooves wont get stuck. Tulip might be gettin too old to get on the spools, I dont think Spirit will ever be able to play on spools but Cocoa and Itty Bitty sure do love them.

  I love my goats :)
