Shear madness

Well Monday was shearing day we had 3 sheep and 3 goats buzzed and hoofs rimed on all of them. Luckily Our shearer brought his dog with because we had one sheep (Eleanor) who we could not get in. Zander's Dog was aces at getting her to go where she neede to be so he could catch her. You should have heard both the boy goats they were crying so much you would think we were killing them. I will try and post some pics Friday of the short haired crew.

Yard work begins

Well finally got the riding mower back from the repair shop man was that pricey. But good timing since the Fergie is having carb issues at the moment. Cannot mow for nearly as long as I could before barely got 1/4 of what I needed done and had to quit. Probably for the best since I found a piece of steel that bent one blade fairly good and now have to buy a new set.
The joys of spring I think.

Goats and Roosters

Happy happy
Had to tackle mama goat this afternoon and trim her hooves really heavy. it have been so wet here that she has a first class case of hoof root going. So we got her all trimmed up and have to go by the feed store and grab some more antifungal treatment to dose her hooves with. Main cause has been a very wet winter and spring so some areas have yet to dy out much at all. As a result I am going to have to gravel the whole corral this summer to build it up against further wet next season.

Today we took in a rooster that one of Colette's coworkers got this year. He is a very young Bard Rock and hopefully him and Yuri our other rooster will get along okay.

Horses, no horses, horses

Well we were boarding a few horses for someone and last week they moved to Colorado and took them with. Well a few days later a friend was in a bind and needed too relocate the three horses they have in a hurry. So once again there are horses here, which is a good thing from my daughters view point.

Well first day of my computer class

Well went to my first day for my computer class, feel I already know a lot of it but hey you have to take it. Took my math midterm yesterday and either did real well or total crash and burn not sure which.
Been fairly wet last few days so not much going on out side. Did have the horses we were boarding move out Monday.

baby birds

there is a robin's nest in an alder tree down by the river so wee took a peek to see if any one was home.

Fewer Drakes FINALLY

I finally found a new home for the 5 extra Drakes today. It was a great joy trying to catch them skinny little buggers were a lot stronger than I expected.
