Practice for Ultimate Spool Supremacy - Thelma and Louise Version

As the twins get older they are starting to play at goat games.
One of our favorite games around the Farm is Ultimate Spool Supremacy.
Thelma and Louise are still too little to jump up on the big spools but that does not mean that they can't still practice for the big match-up in the future.


They just do their battling UNDER the spools!

Does anyone else hear the theme from Rocky?
Of course this is all done under the watchful eyes of their nanny.

Abbygoat won't let anything happen to her kids.
It looks like Louise is taking an early lead...

But Thelma has some good butts too!

These does are battling hard!
Who will win?
Is that....

It is! It's the goat stomp from Louise!
It appears that Louise has sent Thelma packing.

Louise wins the battle....this time!
She heads off for a nice drink of water.

Kid butting is such hard work!
I am sure Thelma will get her chance to win in the future.

Ultimate Spool Supremacy - The Kids Do Battle - Part II

Today I continue the exciting recitation of the tale of The Ultimate Spool Supremacy - The Kids Do Battle. If you will remember we left off with little Harry being butted around by Kevin. But was this the end of the story? Did little Harry recover to win the battle? Well, I will now go back into SportsGoat mode to report.

When last we saw Harry he was barely holding on to his perch on the spool.

And he did get butted off by the larger Kevin but he hopped right back up again.Ready to battle again.

They danced around each other

And Kevin seemed to have the upper hand, er, hoof.

But then Harry gave one of his super leaps

That awed Kevin into submission....

or did it?

Come back tomorrow for the Wordless Wednesday conclusion and see the winner of the battle.

Ultimate Spool Supremacy - The Kids Do Battle, Part I

Today instead of being a SpokesGoat I am a Sports Reporter. I am here to give you a play by play on the next round of Ultimate Spool Supremacy - The Kids Do Battle. Yes, you read that correctly! You are right in that this means that little Harry has learned to jump up on the spools. Since he has learned to leap up there he just wants to play and play and play! And what better playmate than Kevin the goat? They are pretty close in size and age so they are a good match up.

So here is my report. In this corner we have Harry the goat, small but fast; and able to leap.

In this corner we have Kevin the goat, a little bigger, with noticeable horns; and able to hop. Perhaps overconfident.


The opponents bow to each other before the match and agree to play fair.


Kevin comes out strong with a good butt to Harry that almost upends him.



But little Harry is quick and he runs around to respond.

But then, Kevin seems to get the upper erm, horn...

Come back Tuesday to see how the battle ends up! Tomorrow will be Goatucation with a question from The Old Grey Egg from Random Living on a Northwoods Farm- What's your opinion on dehorning? If it's decided to have a hornless goat, what's your preferred method?
