Wanting To Learn

We are wanting to go ahead and sell our billy goats soon.  This is the second year we have used them.  They were easier to keep over the summer than some have been in the past.  But since they have been busy breeding 70 nannies, they have lost some condition.
I thought I would check their eyelid color (for anemia) and deworm them if needed.  They actually both looked pretty good.  
Keiran said he wanted to go with me to help and learn.  He and Emily have talked about homesteading when they get settled with new jobs.  The billy goats were good to learn from because they are pretty tame, wild enough to no run over you but tame enough to catch out in the open with a little grain.   I ended up deworming one and giving copper boluses to both.  Keiran was good help and a good student.

That's great they want to homestead. I really enjoy watching Homestead Rescue and some of the things people do! My goodness!

What a great opportunity to learn first hand.
