Love it

Everything is loving this beautiful weather. And I am trying to spend every minute working on outdoor projects while I can. Made a pen for Dan the Cormo ram including shelter, the hard part was separating him for the others and getting him in the pen. Then tackled the late job of shearing Ruby and Curlie and trimming feet. Ruby has more hair than three goats, and it is kid hair on an adult doe. She has been moaning all day long for the past few weeks, after I sheared her it was plain to see, she must be having twins. I know she is relieved to take off that ten pound coat. A heavy coat can slow a doe down, after shearing she will eat more and be more active, her metabolism will speed up as she grows a new fleece. Curlie does not have enough hair, she is a small doe but has a kid fleece that is silky soft,  she is one of my favorite pets, and someday she might have the perfect kid that has her handle with a ton of hair.
