The Move

Our little herd of dairy goats, enjoying their first tastes of a new home.

Moving was tough. With four kids and a menagerie of animals, you can imagine how much "stuff" we had! But we were only moving about an hour away, so multiple trips wasn't out of the question. The animals were the last things to be moved. The goats didn't care in the least and were excited to have some young trees and shrubs to devour. The chickens had a rough time moving because of the scorching mid-summer temps, but once they settled in they were quite enthralled with all the grasshoppers that had infested the property and became quite content.

At the time of moving, Blizzard, shown here, was our top rooster.
The move was especially hard on him and we nearly lost him to heat stroke.
