It's been awhile since i have blogged, yes im a bad person. August was rather fun, including buying three more goats which are from Texas and Utah. Now you see the problem is not that they are new but the ones from Texas aren't used to human life. They are awesome looking and in fact genetics that i wanted for some time. I have two more girls (one is due in dec and the other in jan) and the buck, oh the buck. He is red, pure red in color. Also a devil. You see he was used to 18,000 acres in texas, probably not that big of a pen for him to be in but still huge and wide open spaces. Here in ohio, it's not wide open spaces. He has attempted to jump out of the pen when dad and i were in the barn, when i tried to grab the halter. So only one person can try to bond with him at a time. Now tonight dad and i went out to feed critters....the buck wasn't in the pen, he was out of the pen, out on the barn floor. Now you might see his rather funny because he didn't have a name when i got him, and my brother suggested Holy Shit because he can clear a 4 ft fence no questions asked. His offical name will be C-N Airborne Red. It fits. So back to tonight, dad went out and shut the door so he wouldn't fly out the half barn door then oh it would be fun. I grab his halter and he doesn't move not even an inch. So dad takes the lead i get behind him, tap him on his side thinking he will bolt, nope. So i pull his tail ---just a little and bingo, bolting begjns and dad is like wow. Now the other two see Red fly in the pen and he scares the doe from texas and she flings herself in the hay manger...lovely another crazy ass flying goat. So i doubt these girls will need help with birthing because the kids will fly out. If they do need help, i will probably swear until i can't anymore.
Did i mention i have 14 due, 12 of which are probably due within a week of each other because i like challenge or i was an idiot again. You chose.
