Your goats are so well cared for. Slick, shiny coats, well filled out, healthy and maybe a little bit spoiled.

Thanks. That's the idea.
Those are especially fat and spoiled because they were kept dry yearlings but I do kind of want everyone a little fat an spoiled. They have farther to fall body condition-wise if something does happen.
My emaciated doe, Elsa, that I brought back is starting to drop a gut and fill out with abdominal fat. She was scaring me before. The other doe I brought back home is actually looking fat for real, Elsa is probably a few weeks behind her just because she's BIG. Those two tried to die on me. They're getting fed for their production now (and they are bred!)
I'm excited to go through my retained stock and see what kind of udders we get.
It's not quite farm related but there are a lot of Asian immigrants in our area. The older ones seem to respond to the luxury of living in suburbia by growing beautiful and productive gardens despite the poor soils. Someone over by our grocery store was selling their backyard farmed pawpaws on fb marketplace, so I picked up a whole bunch. They are as good as they tell you they are-juicy fruit gum, mango, custard, sometimes butterscotch flavored with a mushy custardy, maybe banana-y texture. Now I get to rub the membranes off the seeds so I can overwinter them in the fridge and sprout my own (I hope, not sure to what end). On Thursday I plan to pickup some similarly backyard farmed figs.

Sorry about the messy table. 5 people in one little house with a really small kitchen/dining/entryway area equates to a mess all the time no matter what I do.

I’ll let you borrow this;
My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy.

This just in, d'uccles are pigeon sized bullies. Four year old Shaun's pint sized meanies might just get their own coop.
