Well, on the way to Anchorage to drop off my family for their big adventure down in the States, I picked up 4 more goats and 26 more hens plus a rooster. How does one get all these animals up the mountain, you might ask?
Load 7 boxes of chickens onto the snowmachine and sled. Drive them to the cabin and then take boxes one by one down to the hen house and release them.
Then hike back down to the truck in the dwindling daylight and put two goats on leads while the younger 2 follow along. Realize that leading one goat is sufficient and let the other 3 follow. Speculate that you don't even need to lead one goat, but be too nervous about losing all of them to turn her loose.
And guess what? It's all just right. The chicken house is busy but calm. There are 107 birds now. OMG. And there are a bunch of goats in the yard... 12 does, 2 bucklings, and one tiny doeling in the cabin. Wow. Its really starting to sink in that there will be 7 kiddings in the next 6 weeks. Life is good!
