Scratch that spot for me

The warm weather is making the goats itch, but it is way too early to shear them. They are enjoying the pretty days as goats dislike cold, rainy weather. It makes them cranky. I am carding the last run of roving and packing up for the Peachtree handspinners meeting. This month I have dyed and carded mostly shades of blues. The hens have been laying eggs like it is Easter, so I have plenty to sell. I am ready to plant the early garden, but am sure we will have another cold snap. Only two bred ewes left to shear, but I would like for their wool to be a little longer. Moved the bred does with the ewes in the front pastures where I can watch them closely. Moved three mature bucks to share a pen in a pole shed, they are getting along with each other and the rut seems to be over. Moved last years kids and some older does to the original small lambing barn. Goats prefer to stay in the same pasture year in and year out, and it is not easy to make them move. Sheep love to move to fresh pasture as often as possible.
