The Frat House, Gamma Rho (Goats Rule)
The Marblehead Goats
Winter comes early
Gigi
Gigi and her new herd
We have had the scare of the season with 22 inches of snow last month. Now that it has melted, all of the preparation for winter is happening in overdrive. I finished the new Frat House, which is a larger year-round shelter for the male goats, just in time for the four new Marblehead Goats. No, that isn't a new breed, they are four goats my sister's family got to clear off a small island off Marblehead harbor. However, an island that is 100' by 500' is no place for any animal over winter, so they are boarding here for the season.
Allie has finally finished with her clients' gardens and is working like a mad chook to get ours in shape for winter. We have a new fence around it and I have to build a gate for it. That will be today's task.
And finally, we have a new permanent resident, Gigi. Gigi is a runt Dwarf Nigerian goat so she is tiny and won't be much larger full grown. She is all of 18 inches high and is smaller than our Jack Russell, Flynn. But she is adorable.
Cheers,
Steve
