I woke this morning to another very white day. There was fog and hoarfrost.
I will say it makes for beautiful scenery.
This time of year, the goat don’t really go too far out in pasture, but there’s plenty to do on that first hill. Obviously, they eat, which means I can cut back on their hay.
They rub against the fence.
They scratch their horns/faces on the shrubs.
They scare innocent squirrels.
They might do a little fighting.
Hilda was rubbing on Wanda but decided, since her horn was already there, she might as well poke her.
They wear off a lot of energy! That’s a good thing.
The goats have been doing a whole lot of standing around and doing nothing. This weekend, we are once again well above our historic average temperatures. So this morning when I saw them staring, I knew what was up.
They soon headed out to pasture. It was an energetic group–young, old, and in between were all ready to get out of the barnyard.
The llamas have been going out to pasture most days because it’s easier to hike through snow than share hay with goats.
But look who else decided to join the herd.
Once they made it out of the barnyard and everyone was gathered together again, they headed down the hill.
Hopefully, they wear off some of that energy that they’ve been using to fight and be naughty.
