Spring Must Be Coming - The Roosters are Acting Stupidly

It is hard for us to believe but Spring MUST be coming.
How do I know this?
Because the stupid roosters are being even more stupid!

LOOK!

They are fighting with each other.
Over a stupid hen.

And it is not like the hen is impressed.
She just walked THROUGH their fight and went on her way.

But they kept on fighting.
Stupid birds!
All that wing flapping and spur flying for what?

Here is a short movie of the ridiculousness....and beware - there are rooster sounds.


If you cannot see the movie you can watch it on YouTube HERE

Do YOU understand this?
We do not.

The Weeds are Starting to Grow! This is Good News for a Goat

We had another little taste of Spring here on the Farm yesterday so the publicist let Abigail and me out for a nice long graze. There are lots of nice tasty greens starting to pop up for us to nibble upon. It is good for me to have some green additions to my diet now - the kids are in their final stages and I am about to pop!





The day was just about perfect with a bright blue sky and lots of sun. There were some puffy white clouds floating by. Abby got adventerous and went browsing down in the gulley.





I skirted the edge but didn't go down too far. I think my sense of balance is kid impaired right now. You can see the publicist's house that is being built. It is called a yurt.







The other goats continue to call me "wide load" and I just don't appreciate it!




Even a goat can gaze in wonder at the beautiful view we have here on the farm.








Yum! Look at the beautiful green munchies I got to eat. I am a lucky goat.

It's Shaggy Time!

Aaahhhh, Spring is coming to the Farm. How can I tell, you ask? Not by the temperatures, that is for sure. Nor by the weather as we had quite the little snowstorm yesterday. I can tell by the state of our coats.

It's shaggy time on the Happy Goats Farm!

We are a mess; some of us more than others of us. Abby and Michael are the worst. I mean, just look at Abby. She looks like she is shedding little mini sheep. You would think she would have the grace to shed mini goats.

What she is shedding is the warm underfur we grow to keep us warm in the winter. In Abby's case the white of her underfur really shows against her black coat.

My coat is varied and has white in it so my shedding isn't as noticeable.

Michael is a raggedy mess. The publicist keeps pulling big pouffy pieces off of him but they keep reappearing.

He looks like he is trying to have dreadlocks. Maybe he wants to move to Jamaica. I wouldn't blame him; it is warm all the time there.

Luke was very curious while the publicist was taking these pictures. He kept putting his little head over the fence. It was a good thing the electricity wasn't running through the fence wires or he would have been in for a shock. Ha! I made a joke. He isn't as shaggy as the rest of us - he lost a lot of his fur in the change from baby goat to adult goat.

Soon we will shed all of this fur and be back to our summer coats and we won't look as ragged. THAT will mean nice, warm sunny weather. I am all for that.
