Worked on the fence again. It is almost finished.. The goats were getting out and I didn't know. But no more. Should have another two areas fence in two weeks. Yea...

Sept 26

Wow, I can't believe 2 weeks have passed.  
I went to Fairfax, VA to visit son's family. Great time but hate the drive.
I had a young man watching the goats, all seemed well. Then I found out a week later the goats had gotten out of the electric fence. He didn't tell me. I worked on the fence this week because I knew it had brush and weeds growing on it. Now I really have to go test the power all over the fence. Gad.....
Rain later today, Praise God, it is soooo dry

Monday, 9.13.10

Times flies these days. My knee is slowing me down and it is swollen because I didn't slow down. The price you pay...
My new buck, Samuel, is almost tamed. He will eat out of my hand and let me pet him.. Hilda the doe, still will not let me near, She is 3 yr old, so will take longer.
Beautiful day...

Labor Day

Lazy day, worked on a spread sheet to keep up with goat care. Now to fill it out. I have a sheet for each month.
The newest does and buck are doing well. I am excited about them.

Sunday, beautiful day

Well, I have lost a doe. I looked for her Fri and Sat and no sign of her. She was having problems with parasites and I had wormer her several times. She was doing better. And the other goats do not tell me much.
My new does are fitting in nicely.

Friday

Knee is much better and doc says I can do anything, just be careful.

Went out this am and can't find one doe. I walked to the pond area but didn't see her. I will go check again later and see if she is back.
