Goodbye Winter

Today was very cold! Last day of Winter l guess it's allowed to be! Tomorrow we are expecting glorious things! First day of Spring. Can't wait! This morning rugging up in many layers we set out to divide our large paddock into 4 smaller ones.
Most of the structure was already in place but we decided to put up sheep wire and one top strand of electric fencing as opposed to just 3 strands of electric. Wire on its own doesn't always stop goats! We also have opted for galvanised farm gates instead of the old style cocky gate. Much easier!
Of course this time of year we can't drive up the back as we would sink in the mud....so.............. we bought a Draft Horse that could work in the areas that the Ute couldn't go..................that's why the two pictures below sort of don't make much sense.......... really.....................
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???? Again!!!!
And this one???? ( this was seriously heavy here! It took two of us to drag it up the back.)
Here's a clue..................................(and NO this ISN'T our boy!!)
And here is our reality............................AGAIN!!!!
l think we are doing something wrong here??????? He just hung around and watched us.....happy..... relaxed.........chilled out....... and checked out the very small calf!!!
Lilli also hung around making herself prime Eagle fodder......she was actually waiting for the Plovers to dive bomb her...She loves it!
And the goats just hung around full stop making total nuisances of themselves! Tinks tipped up and emptied the contents of this bucket about three times!!
Just another normal day really!!!
