I'm back! Been off the forum for a while, dealing with moving, the lame horse I threw my money away on (woman sold me a lame horse, I was naive and trusted her). But anyhow, I'm back around and just moved my goats to my new place in Nevada today! They're not sure what the heck is going on, but Putnik crawled inside his new house almost immediately after I put the straw down inside! He was tired from the trip. And so am I!
You can see the Eastern Sierra mountains in the distance in one photo, and from my front porch the view is spectacular. I put a wildlife cam up to try to see what's coming around at night, and I'm going to put up two motion activated lights on the outside of the fence to try to deter predators. Not much more I can do, there is no barn to lock them in. Coyotes can't get inside the fence unless they dig all night, it's just cougars and bears (yes, there are bears here) I'm worried about, although I'm told they don't normally come this far down into the valley, they stick closer to the hills. Come visit!
