The grass (or weeds) are always greener...

...on the other side of the cattle fence.  This morning, I went out to check on the goats and everyone was nice and quiet.  However, two of them had their heads stuck in the fence and looked like they had been there for a few hours.  "Luckily", they had got their heads stuck low enough that they could lay down.   One was a friendlier goat, so she was calm as I "rescued" her.  The other was more skiddish, but I managed to get her out fairly easy.  We have another goat, Stripes, that has gotten her head stuck 3 times so far.  She is a prime candidate for the "Crown of Shame".  I have plenty of PVC pipes and duct tape...and I'm not afraid to use them!

Stripes - she may be the first to wear the Crown of Shame.

I also checked on Freckles and Finnley...they were both doing great.  Finnley is now two days old.  We are going to try and make sure she is a friendly goat and not scared of us so we can take care of her better and with less stress to her.  My children love the fact that they get to hold her and love on her in order to make her friendly!
