Tucks St. Aly Has a New Companion
Our goats are beginning to have babies again so they are separated in different pastures, so Aly has a pasture of goats above and below his two pastures and paddock and I think he quite likes it that way. The tiny baby goat was born probably a few feet from Tucks St. Aly this morning – she is quite a few inches shy of a foot tall.
Avrispecial – Tight Turns are Tough
Avrispecial is doing very well. I worked him in the round pen on Friday. He was full of energy! He willingly went both directions, the only bad thing he did was kick out at me when he was asked to stay on the rail. I did not make to big of a deal about it…

Outflankem – A Gentleman with an Easy Manner
The weather here has really put a damper on things. It seems every day we either have rain, snow, or gale force winds. The only days we get a break, I have to work! My daughter decided she did not like the name “Ronnie” and informed us she had changed Outflankem’s name to “Bailey”. I…
