As the weather heats up out here (finally, we thought Summer would never get here!!!) we are under taking a spot of goat trapping!
Today the temperature gauge is reading 35 degrees however it is located in the shade under our pergola! Therefore one could presume at least 38 outside where the unlucky folk hang out!
With two traps permanently set and being unloaded daily, we are certainly being kept on our toes with all other commitments that Summer brings also. Hotter weather brings the goats into water which is where the traps are set, around troughs.
On the way out to unload the first trap, the goats, in all their wisdom, had decided a little pay back was in order and turned the tap on to one of our troughs causing boss hog to get bogged and call for assistance!
After the damsel (or dame!) in distress was rescued we got down to business.....
The little people came along for the ride too, after being pulled away from the sprinkler and newly renovated backyard (with lawn!) that was.
We are eradicating the free-loading ferals reasonably quickly and will hopefully have enough for a truck load out before long. Here's to hoping the hotter weather sticks around a little longer and the goats get thirsty!!!
