Larry The Cable Guy

We got a donkey a couple of weeks ago, and we have loved him ever since. Aubrey absolutely loves him. We got him to keep with the goats because they are supposed to protect your goats from predators. We have a major problem with coyotes, and luckily we haven't lost any goats to them, but they are brave and are around our front yard pretty often. His name is Larry. I call him Larry the cable guy. He is such a good boy. We try to go out and give him an apple and brush pretty regularly. Aubrey and I walked him the other night and he is a little stubborn, but not anything we can't fix. As soon as I took his lead off he took off and bucked a couple of times and Aubrey just thought it was the funniest thing. He acted like we had just had such control over him that he felt freedom as soon as I let him go.




I don't know why, but the goats love laying where we had big brush pile we burnt a couple weeks ago.

This is my Nanny. Literally I have about 20 nannies, but this one is my favorite and her name is Nanny because she was my first one, and she is the friendliest one. She come up to me and wants to be pet everyday. Now she is the nicest to us, but she is my dominant female and is the least friendliest with the rest of the girls and boys. If your wondering about the collar on her. Some of them are lead broke so we can walk them if we need to. If you click on the pic it will make it bigger so you can see her babies upper lip. The males do this for some reason, and it is the funniest thing.
