Last week was rather interesting on our mini-farm. It started with our inside cat escaping into the garage and hiding behind our freezer. He must have been out there for several hours before we found him. Then the next day one of our bucks, Charcoal, decided to go under our fence and eat the grass on the other side. Don't they always say the grass looks greener on the other side? ;-) After we put him back in (with several good shoves and coaxes with food), he decided to wait until we went inside before he crawled under the fence again! We finally put him in his stall for the rest of the day until we could fix the fence better. He was not a happy guy! The next morning my husband was home working on the fence and I said to him, "I wonder who is going to escape today?" My first thought was our horses! Well, a few hours later, my husband was calling for me. Our horse Hershey had escaped from his round pen! We finally got him back in between the two of us. He definitely was not interested in our hay or grain, but wanted to eat the grass on the other side of the fence. Have you ever tried to convince a young (teenager actually in horse years) horse that he should go back in his pen? After we got him into the pen we realized that he had finally succeeded in pulling a pin totally out of the top of the fence and ALL the bottom pins had been pulled out...by guess who? The goats!!!! So, Hershey just needed to give the fence one good shove and he was free! It was definitely a conspiracy! Anyone have some suggestions on where we could sell some of our LaMancha goats? We have two bucklings (solid black, one has a white ring around it's hoof) and a 3 year old registered doe. We haven't registered the bucklings yet as they are only two weeks old, but do have the papers. We'd love to find them a good home. They'd be great 4H goats. |
