When I am feeling a little winter or world weary (I have been feeling both this week, have you?) doing something nice for the goats or my human herd often helps me feel a little lighter.
So this morning, I trudged into the woods and cut down three Charlie Brown Christmas trees for the herd. They immediately set to munching on them and seemed very happy about the tasty treat. That made me happy too!
Todayās goat of the day is Junie B Jones, who is almost 14 years old and among the first goats born on our farm that we kept. There have been many times in the last couple of years where I suspected she was nearing the end of her life, and it would probably be kindest to put her down, but then somehow she always rallies and shows her spark. Today was one of those days. She woke up in heat and has been flirting relentlessly with our buck Angus all day. She is too old to be bred, but that doesnāt mean she canāt enjoy a little harmless romance through the fence. It is hard seeing the goats you love grow old, but I canāt describe my relief each morning when I go out and see her looking up at me with bright eyes. I feel like weāll know when she has had enough.
Today I am sorting through my email and making plans for spring. When the winter gets a little heavy and dark, thinking about all the baby goats due this spring and summer lifts me right up! If you live in New England and are interested in bringing home goat kids, now is a great time to reach out to get on our deposit or a waitlist. If owning your own goats is not in the cards, we also have all kinds of spring & summer events posted, and they make amazing gifts around the holidays! Who wouldnāt want a goat adventure to look forward to through the winter months?
