Just Another Day...

...of firsts in my experience with goats. More vaccines and some toe nail clipping. Can I just say that this is one of the grossest things?!? I even find clipping my own toenails just a little gross but muddy (along with who knows what else) and nasty long goat hooves? Thanks to Mack for bringing a pair of hoof clippers over to us. 10 months later they are finally being put to some good use!! How many guys does it take to clip a goats toenails?? Today...three. Now this is where the hard part of my job comes in...the part where I have a seat, drink tea and play with a bunch of kids b/c clipping goat toenails is 'not women's work'. Hey, I'm not gonna argue with that!
A friend giving a thumbs up to all y'all!

Every time we go into the goat pens to look at the goats it turns into a zoo...literally. People crowd around the door and windows except they're not so much looking at the goats as they are looking at the foreigners who are looking at the goats.
