Love Is In The Air

Nutty is fully doing his job on the farm. He's irritating anyone who isn't a goat, and perhaps some of the girl goats, too. He's got himself a harem and is learning, with our help, that his girls are ours as well. He's a sex crazed, bleating mess of a dude right now, reminds me of a high school boy. 

Rob and I are doing well keeping him in line with us, the donkeys have no trouble nipping at him to behave. The biggest surprise is seeing Fergus step up to protect his women. Yep, the two boys head butted and Nutty learned to leave the bovine completely alone during his hormonal craze. I was surprised because usually Fiona is the protector for them, and even she was seeing Fergus in a new light. Don't get her wrong, she'll still keep him in check. She goes into the stall first, she gets the first treat, and she eats first. He accepts this. Flora is just happy to stay out of the fray and we all can't wait until the perimeter fence is done to give them all more space. 

The fence should be done this week if weather cooperates. I've included pics of the awesomeness that is Texas weather.
