"I've had a great idea" ALWAYS strikes terror in Greg, it nearly always means a new project for him( and yesterdays idea was no different !) I called a business meeting, I have to pick my moment....(usually when he can't get away) and there he was, perched on the milking stand, talking sweet nothings to Watch Me ( LaMancha goat that looks like a brontosaurus ????spelling ) while he milked her. Great timing. What about a chicken tractor, it will be great because (its my idea, so it must be ) the chickens will be pasture grazed, save us money on feed and fertilize the pasture.I have raised this idea before and it was dismissed but I'm not one to give up without a fight.....Greg listened (This was promising !) Greg didn't say NO, things are getting better. Stage 2 of plan, find a trailer base, serendipity ! Heidi our super horse boarder happened to have just what we needed buried under a TON of blackberries. OK, Tony (Gregs brother) where did this fit into the schedule ? Off we went to pick up the new project. Does it happen to everyone, the best laid plans of mice and men come to mind......Little goats nicely penned up, fence post taken out to get trailer in, all going well....Heidi and her lovely Aunt helped load the monster .....still going well...Bran was let out of the truck to vist a tree or two and the happily penned up little goats let themselves out of the pen !!! Oops NOT so good. Peanuts are wonderful, and I have never seen a fence back up so fast . I'll keep you updated on the progress of the chicken tractor. Got to go, another day down on the ranch begins. Take care. M
