Good for Scratching

Onyx really seems not to mind having the horn apparatus.

She hasn’t gotten stuck in pasture since I put it on.

And, she seems to have found a good use for it.

It makes it much easier to scratch her back side.

I can’t get enough of the beautiful fall colors; sadly, they are about done.

Trying to decide if he wants to come out and face the day. I know that feeling.

Bubbles looks sweet, but she has more than a healthy dose of attitude.

She’s the hardest to give her copper; I have to straddle her and wrestle a little bit to get the capsule down her.  Thankfully, most of the goats aren’t that bad.

Some are super easy.  I have to watch out or they’ll try to sneak seconds.

Cupid needs more orange instead of brown spots.

Peanuts make it so much easier to give my goats their copper capsules.

Unfortunately, the last bag of peanuts I picked up was unsalted.  It was an accident.

It has made it more of a challenge though.  I have some who have actually turned their noses up at them.

Xerxes refused to eat his; later he ate one that was just a peanut (not peanut butter and copper capsule on the inside).  Now that had me wondering if my peanut butter is stale or something.

Xerxes

Luckily, the next day he gobbled it down!  I will try to get some salted peanuts for them though before next time.
