Weekend chores of Hoof Trimming

Enjoyed the nice summer weather we have been having in Michigan this weekend as I spent quite a bit of time working with the goats.  Got together all my tools, and figured to spend time in the shade trimming hooves so I got some lines hooked up in the apple orchard for tethering and a pile of hay for them to munch on.  Started with the bucks who enjoyed the tall grasses the best so they were easily sidetracked for the trimming - LOL.  The girls of course had to dilly dally to the orchard area as they checked everything out on the way.

Just as in children, goats are much the same.  The bucks head right for whatever it is they are after, while the does just take their time and think about things first.  In paying attention to our critters we see many similarities that  are quite amazing.

So I had a great day with the herd under the apple trees and they received a lot of attention, grooming and petting.  Next chore to tackle is cleaning out the barns, but will leave that for a cooler day.

Sorry, it's been a while

Hello world,
I know it has been a while as a lot is happening, and life sure does get busy it slips by unaware it seems.

I am currently starting a new business venture with my farm as my passion for critters is timeless and one of the reasons I start each new day. Have updated my website for my new endeavor and so now, the fun begins. Am getting ready all supplies, trailers, etc. that will be needed so I can help others take care of their farm goats as over the years, talking with so many goat folks there seems to be a real need for my services.

Am gearing up for an exciting time and hope you will enjoy my postings as I will now be updating the pages on a regular basis since it will now be a full time business for us.
