Hello Nanno and all.
The Truck chasing goats were at it again yesterday.
Had to take truck out in field to patch and add another strand of electric wire low down. Some of their Cousins (Deer) took down my top hot wire.
One of the horses (My 2 year old Frezian) figured out she can nose under the fence,keep low enough not to hit the hot wire and have nice grass to eat all by herself. BRAT
Fortunately I do not have a traffic hazard situation here, 3/4 mile from any public road the mailman is the only wild driver that comes up this way, There are water diversion humps (Look Like Speed Bumps) in the road that come into property, He hits them with his little truck and I swear there are times he gets air over them.
Back on track:
Anyway loaded truck with fence stuff drove down to field with goat escort.
I have to get some video.
NANNO Question to YOU: Can I upload direct video to the site like from a cell phone or have to put it up on You Tube and then link to it ???
Pulled truck into field and started working on fence, goat boy's are in Heaven field has not been grazed in a month or better.
But as I work on fence they stick within 50 feet of truck and me. I could see them looking around keeping track of me.
I started stringing wire and walking away from them laying out wire and they moved with me "But not in the way"
It got to the point (Lunch time) were I drove back to camp for a snack, goats chased truck again. Arrive in camp fix myself a sandwich and milk.
Goat boys wanted some too, but I don't share. Did give then a couple 8 0z. cans of Goat sweet feed for their lunch break.
After all they had been working hard eating pasture weeds "Right"?
Lunch over we drive back to field the chase is on again, settle in to work some more ,Me on fence goat boys on weeds.
I finished my job and loaded up and headed back to camp, goat boys got another run down the road to camp. Then we all settled in to rest up for dinner, Me with a beverage goat boys settled down to chew their cud more or less at my feet.
So the truck chasing goats had a good workout and provided entertainment for me while doing the "Boring" job of working on fence.
Happy Trails
