I am still enjoying my walks out in pasture.
I am still taking as many bird pictures as I can!

I made my new moms happy. I removed the panels in the barn and let them and their kids back into the main herd.
I had to get them off the north paddock because it was way too small for that many goats. They are much happier on the Back Forty where there’s so much more green stuff to eat.
And the kids are enjoying it too.
It makes it a lot harder for me to keep track of all those kids though. There are now 31 kids running around in the pasture with their moms.
I finally got the garage emptied out on Saturday. It’s been a challenge to kid without the Morton building and then to get everyone shelter with all the rain we’ve had (not complaining about the rain).
I moved a couple more goats out on Thursday (I think).
Then the rest came out on Saturday. I opened the doors between the garage, soap room, milk room, and barnyard. Then I used a bit of sweet feed to get them to come. Of course, I’d have had all the other girls rushing into the garage, so I shut them up north.
While they were eating that little bit of sweet feed, I went and brought their kids out to them.
There’s not a lot of grass in that north paddock for that many goats, but I hope it will last them another week or two.
I am still giving them some hay to help the grass last longer. And they are also getting some corn.
The kids are enjoying the log up north.
Soon they will be big enough to put with the rest of the herd and go out on the front part of the Back Forty.
