Getting ready for winter

Our current project is trying to get the corral ready to plant grass, so the animals have something to eat this winter. It's getting pretty close. Last Saturday, I had Boston, Seth, Sarah and Mckenzie help me out. With their help, I was able to get a big log pile moved, the temporary fence moved, and most of the brush in the corral cleaned out.


After a hard mornings work, the kids decided to take a break by driving Gracie around the trailer. I'm not sure how much the goat liked it, but the kids had a great time.

We also started working on another of my hare brained ideas, which is to train Sadie to walk on a lead. This is in preparation for getting some harnesses so she can start dragging logs. I think the exercise would be good for her, both mentally and physically. The picture below is of Sarah and Mckenzie trying to teach her to whoa and giddyap. It actually worked better than I thought.
