Since we lost Edelweiss, and Wings is going to her new home in about 10 days... I decided it's time to go goat shopping.  Again.  As luck would have it, there are a few on the market right now.  Yesterday Ben brought home Frannie and her too cute buckling.

Frannie is two months fresh, but her buckling is just now being weaned.  If he weren't already wethered, I'd consider keeping him intact for a breeding or two.  But alas, he will likely go for meat in the next couple of months.

Walking around with my camera, I was surpised to come upon Dapper Dan- our oldest buckling- running around with the does!  It appears that he has learned to climb fences, and I'm not sure what to do next.  I guess I'll figure it out.  He'll be going for meat in the next 4-6 weeks.

Then came the meatbirds.  Every shape, color and size... and boy some of them are getting big!  I hope to harvest at least a couple dozen before Wednesday.  Gotta go!
