Hello and welcome to this week’s news for goats.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Mia going at the branches.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
She’s the one who likes the agility course the best.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
And she likes climbing on me too.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Especially if there are raisins as a reward.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Preben, the trouble maker. Ready for trouble. <\/p>\n

<\/a>
Sigrid and some kids dropped a pumpkin off for the goats. Bob tried to eat it, but it was too tough to bite through. And the others didn’t seem interested in it. They got scared when I rolled it around on the ground though. Anything that rolls is dangerous, they seem to think.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
I went and got some fresh branches with green leaves. And stuck them in the middle of the little agility setup. The goats immediately attacked and devoured.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Even when the leaves are gone Mia will still go back for the branches.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Holding on.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
This is Mia standing on my back while I’m standing up, Video below.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Back on my back.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
For raisins.

Mia trying to smash the pumpkin. Or stand on it at least.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Staring contest with Bob.<\/p>\n

Fun times. Bob managed to escape the fold too. Which is amusing since the fence was rebuilt for the new fold and made extra secure. But he still found a loophole. When he has his mind set on a walkabout it’s hard to stop him.<\/p>\n

Sigrid told me that their next project will be to build a canopy in the fold. She told me this as I was sitting in the rain with Mia. Will be nice to have some cover so I can sit out there when it’s raining without getting wet. Although I have no idea how long it will be before it’s done. It could be a while.<\/p>\n

On with some videos.<\/p>\n

The first one is a lot of fun. Mia stands on my back and I stand up. I actually got her to jump straight up on my back while I was standing, but in the video I’m sitting down when she jumps up. But still. Standing with a goat on your back is rather amusing.<\/p>\n

Next a goatlog with lots of hay eating. And some kids having fun with the goats too. Bob gets a lot of laughs.<\/p>\n

And the last goatlog, with the pumpkin. Also a guy with a water blower thing came to clean the birdcage. And the goats fled to the other side of the fold. He even left the gate to the fold open when he stopped but it took a while before Kamel carefully approached, at which point I went and closed it.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now. We’ve had a nice weekend. I think Saturday may have reached 15C. Oh I miss the summer weather, a lot already. We should get back on that global warming thing. Al Gore was right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
