...again. We have one goat who gets out a LOT. Luckily, it's the friendly one who thinks all people have snacks just for her so she's easy to put back in. Ted put her in and watched her jump right back over the fence again in a low spot. He's fixing it now. Puppers and … Continue reading Fixing fences …

Hay time again
We have to get more land fenced in for Bessie and the goats. What we have is just not enough. I have started supplementing with hay everyday already. I didn't plan to start feeding them hay again until November! This is true love right here - Ted has horrible hours right now at work, and … Continue reading Hay time again

Fixing fences
One of the things I recently learned from Bessie is that when you have a cow, you don't just install a fence and have it forever without any upkeep....you don't even have it three months past brand new without upkeep!

Moving spots
Ted brought Bessie back to the paddock in the yard. The grass has grown up in there at least 8" tall (and some of it's knee high) since we moved her in June. Unfortunately, this is where I planted my mini garden so she's tied to a 50' long rope right now to keep her … Continue reading Moving spots

If she paints it, she'll need brushes and rollers and more paint so she'll go to the store. At the store she'll remember she needs milk and seeing those jugs of milk will make her wish … Continue reading If you give a woman a chicken…

Open for grazing!
The gate has been installed, the water tanks have been filled, and after 4 trips (chasing goats who would get allllmost to the gate and then run back up the driveway home), Bessie and the Terrible Twosome are successfully in the new pasture and grazing! All that goat chasing wore Ted and DG out. LOL

Mowing with Bessie
I have devised a plan to keep the grass mowed without spending a penny and to save money on my feed bill. Bessie is mowing for me! I move her from fence post to fence post every two hours. It goes from looking like this... ...to this where she can reach. I love my big … Continue reading Mowing with Bessie
