Hello All
The boys have been at it again.
I have a new neighbor.
There is a small house down in a holler below BC1 (Rental Property)
Last Renters had 2 aggressive dogs they would let run(Husky and then a young Dobby) 2-3 AM when she got off work.
=========================
Then they moved out, TGFSF
=======================-
New people are in , Older couple.
No Pets, and with farm back ground.
I have stopped to talk to them on the way up to the barn a couple times.
Been keeping the boys after feeding on the high line so they did not go "Visiting"
Pete and Sam are bad about that.
They see people and have to check them out.
========================
Moving on:
This morning I decided to leave the boys loose while I went to horse barn to set up feed.
I feed a wet Beet Pulp Mash with DE and then after the BP soaks add the low carb pellets and feed outside
WELL about the time I got done fixing the mash, here come Pete and Sam to snoop around the barn.
No Problem, Closed the feed room door and headed back to BC1 Goats in trail.
I usually give the BP a while to soak.
New Neighbor had his truck down in back yard of house unloading stuff to a old chicken coop they are going to use for storage. So I walked down for a talk about things. Get to know you type thing.
Well we were having a good jawbone session, ( Over the fence) type thing
Just Getting to know the Neighbors.
Turns out his family had goats when he was young (Farm goats)
Well about that time Pete and Sam figured out (From voice tracking they have) Were I was and came down to visit. They are not shy about checking "New" people out.
Well, then the White Boys put in their appearance.
Yes, I do have a "Segregated" herd structure here the Colored Boys and the White Boys.
All do look to me, but the Colored boys rule or try to, what the white boys do,were they go etc.
Anyway Pete and Sam were happy to hang out and eat weeds.while I gossiped.
They must have got their belly full and came over to be social again.
White boys were still working the weeds within view no problems there.
Pete and Sam started giving me the "Look" TRUCK BED let's get in and check it out.
Yes, the tail gate was down and I was sitting on the edge of it talking.
Well, Sam from a standing position jumped into truck bed proceed to sniff it out then Pete not to be out done did the same. Pete and Sam "Approved" the truck and then got down and went back to work on the weeds.
==========================
The new neighbor was laughing his head off.
"I have never seen goats do that" He was not upset his comment was "It's a work truck" goats can not hurt it"
So then I told him what Pete and Sam are being trained for "Pack Goats" he was "Interested"
Never heard about that.
I did mention to him that if you leave a car door open and goats are lose you may have to unload a goat the boys are bad about jumping in a open door. He grinned about that. Said OK I'll keep that in mind.
===================================
I also had a pistol on my belt 45 LC Revolver, not for the neighbor but because yesterday I saw a scabby looking fox or coyote at mid-day in the pasture with my horses. Not a "Normal" time to see them here.
Thinking "Rabies" critters are vaccinated but still it is a "Shoot First" and be safe situation.
Told neighbor about it,His response "I've got a good 12 Gage shotgun" He is RET-Military so he had no problems with seeing me with a pistol. Yes , we had a good gun talk too.
Happy Trails
