The crew

We finally got the girls moved over to the new place. D and sis put together a temporary pen with a separate part for uno(the buck) when we need to separate him from the does. We've been working with the goaties on manners during feeding. We purchased containers for each of them, so they can eat their share and not steal from each other.  They are doing well with this new system.
Part of downsizing the farm was due to me feeling to overwhelmed to work and care for the animals properly, or maybe just the way I wanted to.
Both girls are bread and due any day. Unfortunately Uno got out and bread Saphire before we new it. She was really to young, so we decided to leave her on mamma to nurse as long as she could to help her grow. Hopefully this helps and she births successfully!
Freedom our Australian shepherd has been a bit of a pain since we brought her to the farm, trying to get her to be happy with living with other animals and doing her job. She never wanted to be with them, always whining and wanting out. When we moved the goats over we decided she would go into their pen to hopefully detour predators. It took a bit but she is happy and when we let them out she stays near them and even helps heard them when time to go back up. We are very pleased.
Blessings,
JM
