They get into everything. Everything. Turn them loose in 100 acre pasture with one little loose board on a barn or one stray wire on the fence, and they’ll find it and poke themselves in the eye or knock it off or something. Despite that though, they’re neat animals to work with, some of them were raised on the bottle and so are extremely friendly, just like big dogs.

This is where they’ve knocked a window out of a little shed, shattering glass everywhere that took some time to pick up.  You can’t really blame them though, it’s just their curious nature. In sort of unrelated (but I think interesting) news, demand for good quality square bales has skyrocketed in this part of Texas. Whether they didn’t put up enough this year or the demand has just been higher, I don’t know. The thing about it is, a lot of the horse people want Coastal hay, without any johnson grass or anything in it (although for goats it doesn’t matter). Apparently people are willing to pay anywhere from 5-$10/bale! Yowza.  Luckily though winter is about over.

We’ve been framing the fruit stand lately, and since i’m only still learning it’s a lot to take in, but it’s fun and hard work and a skill for a lifetime for sure.
