I have an of the subject a question. Keep reading different things on this. We are expecting 103 f this weekend and I was wondering do any of you cut your goats hair to help them stay cool. One place said it would help and other said their hair helps then stay cool. I mostly been thinking about my buck he got the longest hair. They are all Nubians.

We are generally so busy with the "have to dos" that we forget that we have a farm to also enjoy it. I don't farm for profit, just like to have it pay for some of the animal needs with pastures and egg, kid goat sales. But, I do like to make time to ENJOY. A mild summer day on the tractor is great. Walking with the animals, watching Mother Nature at work, harvesting fresh fruit & veggies., enjoying the new animal life. It's WHY I have this place. Otherwise, I could go live in an apartment and watch the cop cars go by. :D

We all need to "smell the roses" OR goats, as the case may be.:lol: Sunset on the farm, stargazing at night...it's life. :love
Here is 1 of my Star "Roses".....

We got 3/4” of rain yesterday. Ringo and the ewes are in Pasture #2, the lambs are in the garden. I pulled the tall weeds in the yard that the sheep won’t eat, it looks pretty good now. Took a break and had a couple of scrambled eggs. Going to go pick wild plums now.

We picked wild plums and visited in the middle of the road with people who stopped to ask what we were doing. :lol: We dug up a couple of small wild plum plants. Then we went elderberry hunting. We dug up 7 plants and I cut elder flowers. I don't know if I want to dehydrate them for hot tea or make cordial. :idunno came home, time to water the CCX chickens, stuck the plants in buckets and filled with water. Ice water time for us!

We had several great wild plum trees on the 180 acre farm we were on from '67-'69....before Memphis....and Mom would always try to transplant some closer to the house, but didn't have them transition very well....they made excellent plum jelly....they had a yellow skin with a stripe of red.....small like a loquat.....:)
