Random Photos Of Some Of The Goats

Here are just some random photos of some of the girls.

Some of the younger girls. These girls are between 3 and 6 months old and will one day be a part of the milking girls.

This is Norma. Norma is a very special girl to me. If you haven't read the story about Norman, then please do. Then you will know why she is so special. Norma is a full sister to Norman.

A group of yearlings getting their chance at the dinner table before we let the rest of the girls in.

The pictures above and below: Dinner time for most of the herd. This is what 54 does look like all eating at the same time. Of course the rest of the herd was served their dinner in their own pen/pasture.

Good Dogs Gone Bad????

The new livestock guardian dog pups are now about 3 months old. For the most part it seems that they are really good pups. Shasta has taken the reign on their training, as we had hoped, and "most" of the time she has them in the goat pastures with her or if it is milking time then she makes them come into the holding area with her and goats.

Cammie (about 8 1/2 months old now)
Not a livestock guardian dog, however she is suppose to be a herding dog and she is definitely my little buddy now.

Now.........Remember that I said that Shasta has the pups in the goat pasture most of the time........Well, she does seem to let them have a little R & R time in the evenings. I'm wondering if maybe she should re-think this policy.

Just who I thought was tearing up the cushions on our swing. :(

What we didn't know is that Cammie was also one of the culprits. I guess there is a reason that Shasta wouldn't let the pups play with her when they first arrived at the farm.
