And the cutey in the middle with the white nose is staying. Sorry! Shadow is so docile and mild-mannered, I can't bear to part with him.
We're up to that point, too. I think we're going to start with the chickens. Too much feed for not enough egg money. The goats I've already started to think about as well, since I've decided to use the herd solely for our consumption.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough thing to do, but we all have to consider what's best, don't we?
They all look so handsome.. Hope they find new homes soon.
ReplyDeleteBrings back a memory from about 1982....we had borrowed a ram named "Chopper' to entertain our lady sheep. Now, our sheep were pretty docile, 'ol Chops, not so much... I was in the corral and turned my back, here came Chopper at me, head down. Cornered,I drew a fist and got him with a right cross right across his snout! He staggered back, and I dove the h**l over that fence!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, I've been rammed by more than one fiesty boy. Luckily it's never been a full-grown ram, only the little guys that are testing their boundaries. Key is to step towards them, get right up into their face, so they can't get any distance/speed up to hit you. Then you slap their noses. Stomping and clapping sometimes helps, too. But I always know where my getaway route is!
