Not a whole lot to share today. Well, Osmo moved to a new farm where he hopefully will behave himself. Other than that, it was just hanging out. Flower and Bud were hanging out together at the salt/mineral block.
Even the bovine and llama were hanging out up by the barnyard.
My nephew and mom came out and were just hanging out. Not really. Brandon wanted to start some mead, so they were putting a lot of honey into the pan. I’ve been entrusted with its care until next weekend when it will go into a carboy.
Joe and Pam were hanging out at the water bucket. I thought it was interesting to see them together. Joe was the blood donor when Pam had to have a blood transfusion. Obviously, there were no hard feelings and Pam recovered.
Mary was just hanging out eating some hay.
Cutie just hanging out enjoying the sun. She always gives me this glamour girl look.
The mallow is still going strong! We’ll see how it’s doing after we get down to 21*F on Monday.
Finally, the sun is setting way too early for my happiness. At least there’s a silver lining to the cloud.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget to click on the Mosaic in my sidebar to enter the giveaway for a 2013 Eden Hills Calendar, or you can click HERE.

the sunset is lovely and calm. mary took the cake today as cutest photo.
Nov 10, 2012 @ 17:46:49
Mary is always the cutest!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 17:37:09
Looks like a lovely day of hanging out. I agree with Theresa- Mary gets cutest photo.
Nov 10, 2012 @ 17:47:12
It was a nice day. Don’t know how many more of them we’ll have.
Nov 10, 2012 @ 17:47:46
Said it before, your animals are all so happy and content. If I was a goat I would pay you rent to live at Eden Hills.
xo
Nov 10, 2012 @ 17:48:33
I might have to start thinking about charging them!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 18:05:21
Mary is the cutest but Cutie Pie has Goattitude!
Mead? Yum! So very, very Sisterhood!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 18:07:00
Blackberry mead! We have a five-gallon batch started.
Cutie was the herd queen for quite some time, and she ruled by force. Lots of attitude!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 18:25:30
Mary is so cute! Cutie is looking good.
Nov 10, 2012 @ 19:23:19
Poor Cutie has arthritis, so she’s not going to like the change coming in our weather. Mary is a sweetie!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 18:44:31
I agree that Mary is the cutest in this bunch.
Lovely sunset, too!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 19:24:14
Mary is adorable! She’s awfully sweet too.
Nov 10, 2012 @ 18:47:41
I’ll add my two cents, and agree that Mary wins for me today too!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 19:24:32
Is it any wonder that she stole my heart and gets to stay?
Nov 10, 2012 @ 20:26:34
Osmo only jumped the fence once or twice that little turd. He didn’t challenge the buck or the girls. They challenged him. They didn’t fight at all! He strut around, and the boys just loved him!
Nov 10, 2012 @ 20:39:45
Hope he quits jumping.
I did warn you though.
Nov 10, 2012 @ 22:34:48
Hi there – your animals do look to have a bit of character! Hope the mead works well.
Thanks for the comment on my blog – I’ve been in Oman for a week hence slow reply!
Cheers – Stewart M – Australia

I’m sure the mead will turn out well. It about kills the boys to wait two years before they get to sample it.

My best friends are interested in buying some goats to raise both to sell and for meat. They know nothing at all about the raising or care and really need some advice on the best breed for a beginner. Since you have experience in raising goats, I was wondering if you would have any recommendations. I’ve researched online, but there is so much info out there, it was way too overwhelming. We live in Arkansas……..hot and humid. They’ve raised other animals and are very good with them. Any information would be appreciated. I enjoy your blog very much.
Nov 11, 2012 @ 07:35:16
The breed depends entirely what they want them for. Meat goats, I’d recommend Boer. If they want milk Nubians give the richest milk. Saanens don’t have the richness, but they are considered the Holsteins of the goat world, and they have a great temperament. If they only want a bit of milk, a lot of people like the smaller goats, Nigerian Dwarfs. Then there are fiber goats~angora if they want the fiber to spin into yarn. Of course, most goats are sweet and fun!

Lovely sunset, you caught it perfect. Yah, Mary get the cute prize from me too.
You’re going great guns girl! I’m leaving my “fancifying” for the editing.
Nov 11, 2012 @ 07:36:03
Mary really does win the cute award every day. She is just adorable!
Nov 11, 2012 @ 07:59:35
Lovely scenes of the day! Cutie is enjoying the sun.
Nov 11, 2012 @ 08:26:06
Other than blowing your hat off, it was a gorgeous day! Cutie is certainly feeling the stiffness and arthritis of her age, so she really does enjoy a nice sunny day.
Nov 11, 2012 @ 09:50:48
Mary made me smile, and that Mallow photo is gorgeous!
Nov 11, 2012 @ 11:02:14
Thanks. Mary seems to be inspiring lots of smiles!
Nov 11, 2012 @ 14:02:42
Everyone looks very peaceful and content — and our mallow was hanging in there until last night. Its only 29 F right now at 2 pm!
Nov 11, 2012 @ 14:43:02
Pretty sure mine is done now. We’re right at freezing with rain and sleet.
Nov 12, 2012 @ 07:01:53
Mary eating hay is my FAVORITE picture! So adorable! Love the mallow too.
Nov 12, 2012 @ 07:50:43
Mary is just too cute! That could be why I fell in love and can’t get rid of her.
Nov 12, 2012 @ 07:25:51
I always enjoy seeing the beautiful mallow! Looks like everyone had a good day “hanging out.” Yep, Mary sure is a sweetie pie. Uh, TWO YEARS?!? That would be killing me!
Nov 12, 2012 @ 07:51:51
I consider it a lesson in patience. That’s something all young men need to learn.
Nov 13, 2012 @ 15:41:46
There is nothing to do ! Your goats are far better models then Kate Moss or Naomi Cambell !
Nov 13, 2012 @ 17:36:58
They do model. Cutie always gives me her glamour girl look!
Nov 15, 2012 @ 06:27:20
Thank you for this post. Yes, “nice matters”– have to be persistent, sometimes, but nice does surely matter…
Nov 15, 2012 @ 06:44:15
Thanks. I used to have that sign hanging in my classroom.
Nov 18, 2012 @ 04:10:20
