Help

Alex took the weekend off and I realize how much help she is. Little things mean a lot. A pleasant smile and sweet personality goes a long way too.How can you be in a bad mood with someone so nice? And I've become dependent on someone to hold this sheep or goat while I check their eyelids or give them a vaccine or wormer. And someone to block that goat while I sneak up and grab her by the horns, catching goats is not easy. Unless you don't want them, then they are all over you. Walking into a barn of hungry goats or sheep can be taking your life into your own hands. Once that head is in the bucket, you've lost the game. And, there's that annoying Alpine, Tanner, that can climb and knock the bucket of feed off the fence post, scattering it to the four winds. Alex has a quiet nature around animals and has made pets of many of them, but I think she has learned to not pet the billy goats and rams, the males will turn on you. Once you start petting them they want all your attention and become agreesive and some will butt you, best to keep your distance from the males. Another of life's lessons.
