Well, today anyway because it isn't raining or cold.
So I have figured out a way to get the buckets of food to their pen and leave them in the dust. We are all usually shoving and pushing for the best bucket spot...me putting them on the hangers and them eating it even before I get it there.
All three of them were trying to eat out of the bucket in the back. Silly goats!
Finally, Boot figured it out. Looks like they all need a good brush. I was able to trim some hooves this evening with Mark's help
They drink a lot of water...a lot.
As soon as everything dries out a bit we will begin the huge task of removing all the straw in the pen from the winter. But it is going to be repurposed to mulch in the garden around the strawberry beds. I am hoping it will help keep the weeds from getting so bad. And there should be all kinds of treats in there for the chickens to scratch about. But not in the garden. Some of it will go on the outside of the fence. The little alleyway between the outside of the goat fence and the yard fence. There will probably be enough to put in the way back by the hammock pergola. It is really going to be a big job but we will get it little by little.
