On Saturday I decided to try to pull some of the thistle that grows in the girls outdoor pen. It had rained this week ,which made the soil softer, and the thistles were easier to pull out. Our goats don’t eat thistles.

You probably already know that goats are great climbers. They love to climb on anything.

Joshua grabbed Michael’s iPhone and took the pictures.

It began with the babies. First Randy and then Jessie joined him. Thankfully they don’t weigh much.

When I moved closer to one of the climbing structures I knew it would be easy for them to get on my back. I put my arm up to be able to hold them off. That strategy didn’t work very well. The adolescence, as we now call them, are quite a bit heavier. Those hooves leave nice bruises.

At this I decided to get up. They can live with the thistle.

Should I get hazardous pay? Or should I consider it free chiropractic?

Have a great day,
