It happened a few months ago but I only recently posted about the stray horses (mules actually) that wandered into our yard. We fed them hay and carrots and it was all sweet and innocent and silliness....until they came back today. Actually, they were completely gentle but the goats thought they were giant goat-eating monsters. I had to call the police for help contacting the owners for pickup before frantic goats trampled pregnant does. Poor Doritos jumped three quarters of the way up his fence then climbed the rest to get into the chicken yard and away from the mules who were reaching over the fence to eat his hay.
Thankfully no goats were harmed in the making of this story.
We have many projects lined up for this spring season. One has been a long time in the making. Our buck pen expansion. With the help of a friend we were able to buy lots of materials for this job without spending lots of bucks. ;-) (I really am a dork.) Today we finally accomplished the task! They have spent the last year sleeping in a large doghouse but now they have a proper shelter.
As well as some more wiggle room
This will really help them when summer comes because it also casts more shade into their pen. I worried for them all last summer and even made makeshift attempts at providing more shade but they never seemed to work out well. There is a tree next to the pen but....well, if you'll just look at the left side of the pic you can see that little line near the fence...yep, that's it. Oh, and they ate all the leaves off of it.
