Goats on the Loose

 I had some work to do on the goat house and I knew I couldn't do it with the goats around. I'm sure they would have knocked my ladder down at the worst possible time, among other things. I arranged to have Pam come out and be a goatherd while the goats were loose. I came back from getting some tools to find that the goats were grazing on one of the Serviceberry (Juneberry) trees. Pam was taking this picture.

I also had a container of alfalfa pellets just to have on hand in case the goats needed distraction. I had almost reached the gate when I heard thundering hooves behind me. The goats apparently had detected that I had snacks and abandoned their tree to come after me. 

A little later they had wandered down the drive to the carport area. I had the door to the shop open, and they wandered right in. It actually took quite a bit of effort to get them out. Not sure what the attraction was. They wandered all the way to the far end and said Hi to Tux.
