Thursday afternoon, I decided to put the two halves of the herd back together.

Penelope and Nessa on the back side of the barnyard
I need to get the Easter moms on a better pasture. Let’s face it, my little front pasture needs a break. I’ve been giving them grain, but they want the better green stuff, and the kids are getting old enough to keep up.

2TC says it’s hard to eat enough to feed herself and twins
So I decided to remove the panel and let them through.

Flora checking out what I’m doing

Hera and Cupid figured out they could get through the barn
Once they noticed, they came on the run!

All the moms were excited; the kids are always excited
Then it was a brawl. Kids were everywhere. There was fighting (because they are goats). But they should be settled down and good to go soon.

Everyone meeting in the lane

LilyAnn and Tansy with a bunch of kids

Kids everywhere as they go back out to pasture

Astra and Joy
Then I decided to put the two boys back on the front pasture. Even though it needs a break, the little paddock up north is even more in need of a rest.

Xerxes and Frodo have kept it eaten down
I decided to just bribe them with a bit of feed.

my pitcher of sweet feed waiting for the boys

Here they come!
It works like magic.

Shut back on the front pasture
Now everyone is back to where they belong.
