Title: Goat thing
Post by: goosepimple on June 29, 2013, 09:40:23 pm
One of our Casltemilk Moorits jumped ship after the shearer had been, just too traumatic for her.  She's ended up at a farm near here - farm manager came today to ask if we had lost a - 'goat thing'  ;D
 
We've no chance of catching our leggy blonde so he said he would be putting some ewes and lambs in there and she might stick around and be herded with the rest eventually  ::)  so maybe see her again in August, wonder if she'll remember us.....

Love it. Our Gotlands are very goat-like. One person we've sold to calls them her geeps  ;D  Hope she forgives you in time :fc:

My neighbour rounded Doug's for shearing by driving his sheep into the field and taking them all together to his shed.
The ram thought 30 girls were definately worth following!
The ewe with lambs held back a bit, but it was certainly alot easier than trying to get them on their own.
