A Day of Fence Jumping And Fence Fixing

My husband and granddaughter usually feed the animals in the morning on their way to the bus stop.  That is a nice treat for me. 
Well, with new goats and a new horse on the property we are still figuring things out around here.  New additions can be stressful for a week or so till everyone is settled back in. 
My husband fed the new goats but when he did he went on top of the BIG snow bank, from the roof slide.  When he came back over he scared Stella, the new horse blind in one eye.  What does she do?  She decides to jump the fence!  Fortunately, jumping that fence put her into Summer's paddock so she didn't get out. She did scrape a large patch of fur off her leg though. 

Ugh. 

Then the two new pregnant does decided that they didn't like being in the back pen and wanted to be out with everyone else.  Over the fence they went, multiple times till I could get it fixed.  Because the snow is so high it makes the fence lower.  One doe would jump back in once we got them back over to the same spot they jumped out.  The other girl is so heavy but I had to lift her up and over.  Oh my goodness that was rough.  lol  A few more fence posts and another bunch of fencing above the other fence and I think that spot is patched.

Stella had her surgery to remove her eye that was full of cancer.  Poor girl.  She's had a rough life.  Hopefully now she can settle down and start to recoup. 
When she was at the vets they sedated her but when they started to shave around her eye, she woke up and panicked.  She surprised the vet and they ended up tearing her skin around her good eye.  Poor baby is a mess. 

When Stella came back from her surgery, my daughter changed the fencing all around so that the goats were all separated and Summer and Stella could be together.  Summer is Stella's support pony.  The new does are in one pen and the other 7 are in their own pen.  Well, my daughter left for her home and when I went down to feed I spent an hour and a half trying to fix fencing and throwing goats back in their right pen.  I smashed fingers with  a hammer, got poked with wire, cried and screamed my way through that hour and a half. I am still sore today. 
I believe the horses will be going to my daughter's farm in a few weeks once she can get fencing up for them.  She has 7 over there now and 4 goats.  Then I will have just my goats and chickens to worry about.

I have discovered that I can fit 27 chicken eggs in my jacket pocket.  lol  I am so glad I did not slip on the ice out back.  That's one of my biggest fears is slipping on the ice with a pocket full of eggs and breaking an arm.  The girls are really starting to produce again. 
I am happy to say that I have picked up a couple more customers in the neighborhood too.  I would much rather sell to neighbors than the store a few towns over but I'm happy just to sell them!  One lady was paying 5.00 a dozen at a farm about 30 minutes away.  I live about 5 minutes down the road from her and only charge 2.00 a dozen. 
Boy does the chicken coop need to be shoveled out.  It freezes in the winter months so you can't shovel it out, come warmer weather everything starts to thaw and yesterday was in the 70*s.  Today it was in the 30*s and snowing.  Gotta love New Hampshire!
