Well, it’s not all of them, but here’s a photographic run down of some of our critters.

Nice looking bunch, Jason! I like their names, too.
Are their pens move-able? I ask because the grass inside is so tall. I would have thought the goats would have made short work of such luscious-looking grass!

No. The pens are all hard-set. They get the periodic option of being moved out for grazing. They’re a happy bunch for the most part. The kids pen does need some tending – the grass is highest there. The chickens in with the adult goats seem to enjoy the fauna that are present in the higher grass as well.

We took food out to a family from our church tonight. Just before getting to their place, we passed another pasture filled with perhaps 40 goats. The difference in the grass between their place and yours was stark! Our drought is getting serious over here. The livestock pastures either have no grass at all or just the tiniest bit of very brown grass.

We’ve been quite blessed with a cooler and wetter than normal summer. We just started hitting the heat wave over the weekend. Highs in the mid to upper 90s with heat index up to 108 on Sunday.

I have a cousin in Hot Springs, AR, who says this has been a very cool summer for them. Not so for us! We are well on our way to setting a new record for the most 100+ degree days.
I used to tease a friend because, whereas most of us water our grass, plants and trees, he was always watering his foundation. Now I find myself doing the same thing!
