Chickens really- My adventure into Goats

[chickens really]

Our property is 7 acres and hilly. My pasture is up on the highest hill, then my house and goats. The shop is lower in a hill and the barn and horses are on another hill. Lots of hills to climb daily. The house was built in 1978 and most everything is still original too. I got the kitchen cabinets and counter tops replaced. We put in a reverse osmosis water thing in and then the the following year the well went and a new well had to be drilled. Having the well go damaged the osmosis thing so yesterday I had a guy here to fix that and I almost fainted! $600.00 to fix it. The toilet in the main bathroom went so I just bought a new one. Thank goodness my husband can install the toilet himself. I still haven't received my bill from getting Levi done so I'm a bit scared at the price for that.
I want to get paint to do the ceiling and walls in this old house. The old bugger before us was burning coal down in the basement fireplace so the walls are very awful. Need new flooring desperately too.
It never fails though! If I have money to do something around here, something always happens and I have to spend it elsewhere. 🤑
That reminds me, last fall I had to buy a new stove and washer and dryer.
Plus I have to buy another lift of hay as soon as my hay guy has it cut and ready.
I breed my little dogs to pay for my animals and house hold needs. I rob Peter to pay Paul around here. I guess it's the price I have to pay though so I can have all the animals and live out here. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to live in this area because of the hills and how pretty it is. I got my wish so I shouldn't complain. 👍😬

A few Pictures of my property.

The picture I posted of the flowerbed with the red mulch doesn’t look like that anymore! . Wilson dug holes. I have to fence it off and redo it again. Here is a picture of the other one on the other side of the steps.

I took your advice and never gave Levi any pain meds yesterday. He is doing great. Everything looks alright in that area. Swelling has gone down and the bands appear tighter. 👍❤️🐐
Levi is eating good and today I will let him outside to graze for awhile. He was hopping on his trampoline when I went out this morning so he must be okay. 😂😁

Vet only charged me mileage and the exam fee. .$172.00
The rest was free of charge.

I got

pictures today of my little man outside and of his privates..Vet didn’t think Levi is ND but an older Pigmy Buckling!
Short snout, small horns and the size of his balls/testicular area is big for a 6 month old ND Buckling. 😂. I don’t care! I love goats.

Blah, blah, Blahhhhhh!
Lady I bought Levi from swears he is pure ND but also thinks somewhere in his blood is Pigmy goat. Can't be pure if Pigmy crossed someplace in the blood? Momma looked Pigmy /ND cross. Oh well it's always the same crap buying off pet sites.
I don't care what he is? I definitely won't call him a pure ND anymore..👍

One thing about it....it is your opinion that matters.... ....and he is what he is and will not change....no matter what ya say he is...

Years ago, we had a quaker parrot....it was never dna'd so wasn't sure about the sex....many that had experience with them said it acted like a male....we named him Simon and had him a little over 6yrs....my wife worked with a woman that really wanted him and decided to rehome him....the day before he was to leave, SHE laid 4 eggs in the bottom of the cage......🤣🤣......when we discuss Simon today....it is always with the masculine pronouns....

Funny..
his breeder just got into goats and agrees that possibly she was sold crosses. I don't care though! I love my pets. Pearl will be a bigger goat once grown because she is 9 weeks and as tall as Levi almost..
She isn't from the same place as Levi. Two different breeds and not pure. Only Fancy I guess is a pure goat. Fainting Doe.
She definitely faints!

My two wonderful girls today! Down stay and playing Ball. Good girls.. Bindi and Lucy. Bindi is fantastic at running off predators and watches the property. Lucy us trained to wrangle chickens and ducks so she helps now getting the kid goats in and very determined as usual. 👍
