DAY 15 – The Goat Union Forms

Walked out to the mill.

Three goats standing on the lumber stack.

Not near it.

On it.

The tan-and-white goat was mid-speech.
Phillipe stood slightly behind him like campaign manager.
Dekaber just stared at me.

Which was worse.

One board had a single bite taken out.

Not random.
Strategic.

I said, “That’s select-grade poplar.”

Clover chewed slowly.

Phillipe blinked once.

Dekaber didn’t blink at all.

I’m 83% sure I was being audited.

🪵 Lumber Note:
The rest of the stack remains un-chewed and available.

Trying to get logs down off of Webb Road to the sawmill is very hard on me. There are some logs that about give me a hernia trying to move them let alone get them where they need to be. Captdr Thurston loaned me his log arch, and I was able to get one of the smaller ones down. I was able to get it on the mill with some creativity and got some lumber made. I will probably use it to make a door for the closet in the dining room.

Ain't this the cutest thing 😍 One of our Nu-Nu-Bo's (3/4 Nubian, 1/4 Boer), kidded today. Buckling twins. It's been awhile since she kidded. Let's see if she mother's like a Nubian or like a Boer. So far she's Boer style. Did you know there is a difference? Lol it is!

“The Goat Inspection”

Professor Clover jumped on the fresh-cut boards.

Stood there like an OSHA inspector.

Sniffed.

Chewed.

Stamped a hoof.

Then walked off.

Approved.

I have never felt so validated.

Hours for our farm stand...

Time to head up the mountain. The goats stay in a smaller area during nighttime. They have 2 Great Pyrenees LGDs to keep them safe wherever the are but they like being near their humans. During the day they have access to a larger area that we're working hard to expand for their health and well-being. So if you're in need of soap or herbs for your own health and well-being, we hope you consider us as the support helps not just us but our 4 legged family as well 💓🙏🐐🫏/🐎🐓🐈‍⬛🐕. Did you notice I put a donkey/horse icons to represent our mules 🤭

Just a little guy exploring the terrain with his momma. Hrafn with his momma, Freya. Not a white hair on him. He's primarily Nubian but has got some Boer blood.
