Charm's First Lesson

Charm got her first tie out today, in the rain. She pulled back once then gave in and stood there, tied to a young tree while her mother was just a few feet away tied to another tree. We brushed and talked to her while she accepted the rope and the phobia of being held by something. It's been a week since I weaned the lambs, moved the ram lambs to another barn and kept the ewe lambs in the lambing barn, away from the ewes. The ewes are drying off nicely and got over their calling back and forth to the lambs after the first day. Time passes by quickly, seems like just a few days ago they were born. Evan helped me vaccinate the kid goats that will be weaned a few weeks later. More hoof trimming, shearing, vaccinating and worming to stay on top of. The garden will start bearing  soon, first squash, then the most loved of all, tomato.
