Can you find the goats?

The summer has been charging forward at an amazing speed, and we have found very little time to add posts to this blog, but wanted to go back and share these photos from mid-June.

Look carefully at the following photos....can you find the five does and their five doelings in the grass? This paddock was grazed earlier this spring, then let rest for just about three weeks. The warm and wet weather we had surely made the grass grow! These goats are ones we'd just purchased and wanted to keep separate from our main herd for a week or so. After turning them into this paddock and watching them totally disappear, we were having second thoughts about how we'd be able to check them every day for any possible problems! Fortunately, they did very well and are now happily moving with the rest of the herd through our rotational grazing paddocks.
