"My" wether-to-be is on the right behind the tree. I could not get a picture of him standing still because he didn't!
AND I had a milking lesson! Did fine on the first try. Beginner's luck? I also didn't do the whole job so no time to get tired. Still, I'm less intimidated now.
Also, I talked to the guy Free suggested I call. We're going to go up later in May to meet his goats. I could have a Nubian in milk in a month!
We'll be fencing tomorrow. DH talked to a coworker who has had animals of various sorts. She has 100 feet of heavy sheep fence only a year old she will sell us cheap. They sold off their sheep.

DH just clarified. The woman bought the fencing last year but never used it! It's brand new. :D
We'll be purchasing fence posts in the morning.
