Goats

Sometimes I just get in over my head and have a hard time admitting how much I am overwhelmed. We had our goats in the front yard (electric fenced area) or course the 2 largest goats discovered tonight how to get out of the fencing.

Seems like they (the largest goats) have managed to find escape routes from everything we have put them in. They then attack any and all fruit trees or roses. A plum tree and a Fuji apple tree have horrible scars in the bark where the goats have scraped the trunks with their hooves.

I had great aspirations for the goats, I would milk them and have fresh goat milk everyday, with extra milk turned in cheese. It is really hard to have 2 horses, 5 goats, 3 rabbits, 25 chickens, 3 geese, 1 turkey, 25 fruit trees, black berries, a huge garden, raised beds, lots of roses, 3 children, 3 parrots, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, 3 lizards, 3 fish, all on 3 acres and not loose ones sanity.

Hopefully having found 2 goats a new home will bring some sanity of not looking out the patio door and seeing my trees destroyed. I know they are going to a good home and will be enjoyed by their new family. Now I just need to convince Katie the world won't end just because they are leaving tomorrow. Think she needs to go run errands with me and maybe Callie can come too.
