"That which does not kill you makes you stronger" Freidrich Nietzsche

Yesterday morning I picked up the goats I mentioned previously.  They are a cute bunch.  It's really fun to watch them all milling around, checking out their new residence.

I ended up with ten, four bucks, and six does.  I put collars on all of them and wormed them before unloading them from the horse trailer.  It's always fun to wrestle with goats in a trailer parked in the sun... Man! was I sweaty!  But it didn't take me very long to get them all dialed in and out to pasture.

This morning I gave them grain, and let my other goats in with them.  Now they are all milling around in two separate groups, eye-balling each other.  In the next couple days, I will castrate three of the bucks, then separate all the boys.  I am keeping one buck to breed Gracie this fall, then I'll castate him.

I worked in the yard yesterday, got the lawn mowed and some weeds pulled.  Nearly all of the seeds planted in the garden are popping up now, and with the heat expected in the next couple days, I expect everything to really get going.  Lot's of sun, heat and water do the trick.

I have slightly sore muscles everywhere!  Last night I ached all over.  I fell asleep in my recliner with the heat pad on.  And I sure didn't want to get up this morning, but I did (obviously)

Well, I better get busy.......
