Captain Comes Home

I almost forgot to post pictures of Captain, the new buckling we built the outside fence for! He is very cute but will soon be a force to be reckoned with so the fence I put up for now will have to be replaced in the spring. The goat people I know say it won't hold up to Captain at his full height and weight. For now, it's hard not to think of him as a pet--he is so cute! This is Gabriel petting him through the fence.data:post.body

Tall Friends

After picking up our two does we waited a few weeks to get the "little" buckling named Captain. Once again, I was busting tail to get his fencing in before he arrived and was working frantically. For some reason, this time Tim kept checking on me and even offered to help... The greatest thing happened that day though. Our friends, Nick and Christy from Minnesota were visiting town for the holidays and stopped by while I was trying to finish up. Nick is VERY tall and he set my posts for me--a job I usually need to use a ladder for. Tim hammered in all the staples because apparently my farm muscles haven't kicked in yet. Thank you boys!data:post.body
