Hey Reader,

So you thought Valentines only comes around in February, huh?

Well Pender (our mini fainting buck) feels quite differently.

In fact, you can smell his difference.

You see bucks (intact male goats) have this peculiar habit of peeing on their beards when they're feeling amorous. And it does not go unnoticed by anyone in the close vicinity.

Once you know this smell, you'll forever recognize it.

So funny story...

As we we've been paring down our livestock, we've been moving some from one pen to another to make loading easier.

Now Peaches and Pender were by themselves and we decided to move the Icelandic ewes over with them to make loading the Navajo-Churros easier.

I know that you know that goats and sheep are not the same.

But I'm not sure Pender, in his amorous state, really cared to understand what we know.

And of course these are the times you wish you'd have a camera rolling to truly capture how funny this moment was, but Rex and I were laughing too much to remember to record.

We had brought the goats some sunflower seeds (their favorite), along with the ewes, but Pender completely ignored the snack and promptly started slowly walking towards Frigg.

Not but a few feet away he decided to reapply his face for the new arrivals.

Imagine this, but as a goat...

Ooh la la!

Now of course, nothing happened because they're not the same species but it was an amusing attempt on Pender's part.

Bless his heart.

Maybe you had to be there or have been around goats before to understand, but it was mighty funny to watch him be excited to have some new ladies to entice.

He left Peaches and the sunflowers behind to risk it all.

I do love goats. <3

Ciao for now!

Jamie
