The Goat Tour

A virtual tour of my goat pen: can you smell the manure? Come and meet many of our goats in their natural habitat-the Goat Pen!
*Update: Since this video was shot, Deborah has a baby boy, Nutmeg had a baby boy, Three-legged Annie had two girls, and Matsah the walking bus had-can you believe it-ONE girl-ONE! All the rest was baby fat!

@gokory Most are Nubians, and a few a Boer. Also have a few Icelandic sheep.

nice goats

[ukulelemike]

Thanks, gokory-sorry to hear you went through the same type of event we did--even losing one is bad, especially to one's own dog.

For us, we killed them and dragged them off into another area of our land for the coyotes. Fortunately the coyotes don't mess with our goats, though we've lost some cats to them. And lost some chickens to ravens. Gonna shoot them ravens one day! They carry off the eggs into the goat pen and drop and eat them.

[ukulelemike]

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. In this kind of an agricultural area, dogs that kill livestock must be put down, because they are just another attack waiting to happen. It's the law out here, the responsibility of the rancher who finds a dog killing their livestock to put it down. They were also our own dogs, which was sad, but they were worthless for their job, and dangerous at that point. Had to be done.

Sarah and I enjoyed this video immensely. You have quite a goat farm, and the so-called 'Dog Attack' is a very major event, sounds like.

Frankly, Mike, it's MUCH better than the persona you have preaching about why CCM sucks. It sucks--but for other reasons than you say. It's just sucky music that sucks. You, on the other hand--don't suck.

[ukulelemike]

Why, thank you-I like to think I don't suck. yes, we lost five goats in the attack, and Annie survived, though she lost a leg. We lost another two to another dog later, as well. All those dogs are coyote poop now.

Nice goats. Love the spots. "The walking bus" looks like my goat Doll did before she had her "TWO" bucklings. Thanks for sharing. LOVE the funny talking. :D

Super nice! Cool looking goats, too! Long ears and all :-)

Cute video! It was nice to see all of the goats. I like their patterns and the fact that they were curious about the camera. I don't think you are annoying in this video. =)

nice video!

[gokory]

it means they killed em and either buried em or left em for the coyotes i like coyotes because they keep away the rabbits and

rats but they also kill livestock luckily this has not happened to us yet. but on of our old dogs jumped the fence for the goats and killed on grabbed it by the neck and jumped back over with the dead goat. we killed it.
