As the hot humid days 🥵of August are here…. I thought tonight I’ll so look forward to fall, when a jacket will be needed 🧥and the herds coats start to change in texture & some in color 😊

Wanted to share with you all that Our awesome herd volunteers ,are there giving their time at 97’ degrees in summer or 17’ degrees in winter!

This year we had volunteers going in summer hot afternoon/ eves to make sure herd had cold water & plenty of it along with our herd hug time. At times we bought ice cubes or blocks of ice to add to the water buckets knowing we all need to keep hydrated.

Did you know….
it’s just as important for the herd to stay hydrated in winter, as summer!!?✅
Cold weather causes dry winter air, and goats eat dry hay instead of fresh grass. This makes drinking water vital to prevent dangerous health issues like urinary stones or blockages in their digestion.

This is Joe….. Joe was stubborn with his spring summer grooming but tonight with 3 of us, he allowed us to cut the mats off his pantaloons! Photos before, being cranky ,Angie talking to him to calm him….and success !! Annmarie had his horns, Angie had his body & I snipped those matted dreds away! Joe got some a cucumber after for being a great boy💙
Side note; IT’s a project holding a 200lb male goat, yet the 3 of us have done this task with several goats through spring & summer….WE rock Girl Power!💗😎

Beautiful summer evening with we 3 volunteer gals💗 and the herd!
We 3 get together every couple months for chores, tasks or new projects fully out of love for the herd💫 Thank you to AnnMarie & Angie who donated new feeders👏🏼 these hopefully will help -the girls , Mary & daughters usually get bullied away from feeders, so with extra feeder will help!
Was lovely summer eve!🌞
Also!!! After 4 years of Lance gaining trust love n care, Angie is able to cuddle with him, brush him and the attention the big boy needs! Slow n steady, only a couple of us Lance allows to pet him💙
