The challenge with our surprises.

Yesterday, Craig moved the goats to a new pen. The new brown kid was easy to find. The little black and white kid was a different story. Craig looked for him before he moved the goats and did not find him. So he decided to work on cutting down more blackberry canes for the goats… Continue Reading

Two little surprises

We moved to Western WA on Tuesday. The cooler weather is nice. Definitely not as hot as Quincy.  After Craig got the goats out into the pen, one doe was making a lot of noise. She was acting like she was looking for her kid but she did not have one. At least at that… Continue Reading
