Morning:

Chickens shitting and sunning on my porch

Time to go milk. My goat AK is really cranking the milk this year.

Time to feed the babies after milking

After I got all the stuff washed out and the milk on to pasteurize I shot my pistol some

Next was to go hiking to try to find some morels. Still too early round here. This was the only fungi I ran into

Great shots HD. :thumbup:

I like the goats! Thanks for sharing.

Me too. My wife thinks I'm insane for wanting a goat. I don't want to breed 'em or anything. I just think it would be cool to have a couple around if I had the property.
 
HD you do understand that about 90% of the guys on here are jeluse(sp) of you right now.... With me right there in front of the line....
I dont know if its proper to ask but is that all you do for a living??

I know I'm jealous. I was born in the wrong part of the country. The only goats I saw when I was a kid was at the zoo. I know having a farm is hard work, but I'm sure it beats the crap out of sitting in an office for 50 hours a week.

Geat pics, thanks for sharing.
 
that fungus looks like pear shaped puffballs in a way. do you have them in your area? they are just as good as the big ones but a pain in the rear to clean when you have hundreds of them.
 
Nice water shots! I'm guessing you are a good two weeks ahead of us judging the plantlife activity.
 
Looks good. Goats are great for clearing property of brush. We used to have a bunch of pigmy goats and they would clear out an half acre in a month or so.

Oh yeah, I'm also jealous.
 
Great pics bro, although it took me a minute or so to make out the first one of the goat !!!
Do you still eat the fiddleheads ? I have been put off a little with recent concerns over certain ferns and brackens causing cancers !!!
 
Outstanding! It's great to see nice country shots of everyday life!

I'm inspired! Get ready for some Duck, Rabbit, and Chicken pics!
 
The morels will be popping soon. This has been a cold spring. Hope the grass doesnt get to tall before they come up. I cant wait to have a pan of big yellow morels.
