Baby goats!

We picked up some baby Boer goats. They're a little brother and sister. We plan on castrating the buck. They were already named when we picked them up this morning, the boy is Ramses, and the girl is... well, Rosie. So I have a jr. in the family and she's amusing. I sat in the back with both of them on the ride home. Ramses was very protective of her and she was very timid and frightened. In the end they both curled up between me and the back of the seats and rested while I stroked their backs. We put them into the old coop and that is where they are staying tonight. Upon getting them home, they turned total opposites. Ramses is very stand-offish and doesn't like being pet while Rosie runs around and frolics and runs over to be pet. We've established that rule number one is that she is not allowed to eat sweaters, rule number two is that she's not allowed to eat fingers, rule number three was no goat drool, and rule number four was no eating wrappers of any sort. After our initial stay with them in the old coop they ran around for a bit and from the window we saw them jump onto the laying boxes from which they would jump off as if they were to leap off a stage to go off goat-crowd surfing.

For the life of me I cannot find a counter anywhere online that can help me keep a yearly tally of the produce and eggs that have come in. It vexes me. We have an average of 7-8 eggs a day with the most being 10 eggs in a day and the least being 6 eggs in a day.

We just met the father of our next door neighbor and he's from Guanajuato. We stayed talking a while about animals, family, the economy, the housing market, and Mexico. We'll see if we can fix the fence that joins our property, hopefully tomorrow so that it's not toppeling over.

Jed fixed up the piggy pen today so that the door can swing freely and so that it can shut of its own accord. We hope to capture our piggies soon so that they can actually stay in our yard. We'll see about reinforcing the fences after they are captured so that we might be able to unburdon our neighbor of the little snots.
