Hello All
More rain here is SC 3 inches since about 10 pm Sunday night.
Well the goats normally have been sticking around BC1 or the horses.
They decided to head for higher ground this afternoon .
Yes I did note they went AWOL.
did a quick recon around the neighborhood. No goats visiting anywhere
Both have reflective collars and ID tags as well as ID chips implanted.
Well at any rate I got a phone call from people about a mile and a half away asking if I was missing a couple goats. Answer “YES”
Apparently they took to the hills behind BC1 and wandered into a small sub-division above us. people were out walking their dog(Ankle bitter type) and the goats followed them to their house. Yes both the boys are very people friendly.
They gave me a call from the number on the collar tags and asked did I have a couple real friendly goats.
Yep, that describes Pete and Sam to a T.
I fired up the one ton truck(It needed a road run any way) and drove up to retrieve my AWOL kids.
Pulled up and they were mugging people for treats, apparently people had given them a few crackers.
Yes, once you treat one of them you can not get rid of both of them.
Moving on:
My truck is extended cab, not crew cab.
Dose have seating in back but you better be a very small person.
So I had brought feed bucket with me. Told the people just turn them loose, I rattled the feed bucket at them set it in the back seat of the truck and got out of the way.
Goats in the truck cab in nothing flat.
People were laughing their head off , about having goats in the truck cab.
My response was “They drive Better than I do”
Anyway like other goats I have had as soon as truck started moving they both settled down on the seat in back and were happy to ride home in the cab of the truck.
Happy Trails
We hold the High Ground here.
