We started the siding on Jimie's home today. That's her on the left helping put on the first piece.At the end of the day, it was off to Reenie & Curtis' ranch to visit their goats and long horn cattle (and play at being kids again by riding in the back of the pickup). The goats are protected from the coyotes by two dogs, Jake &; Nilla who are Akbash, Turkish dogs bred for just this purpose. Curtis said before he got the dogs he lost almost all the kids that were born. Since getting them 5 years ago, he's only lost one kid. On the cattle front, he used to raise Angus but said his herd got too old so he sold them and now has registered long horns instead. The long horns turn out to be mellow and friendly, much less aggressive than the Angus. Even Larry who is a city person was brave enough to hand feed one. (We all begged off feeding the bull.)
Dinner was goat sausage and hamburgers (Try not to think about it. You would starve down here, Susan!)
