Monday afternoon, just before the brand inspector arrived Maggy broker her halter, when I had her tied and was trying to apply fly spray. So as soon as the inspection was over I ran to the feed store to get her a new one. Then I tried to catch her again, but she was having none of that. Guess she figured she was going to get sprayed again if I did catch her.
Went out again this morning and managed to get the lead rope snapped on to the damaged halter that was still on her and tied her up. Took a bit of doing to get the new halter on and adjusted, but she is now sporting a pretty green halter.
The vet inspection went fine this morning and the milking stanchion that is going with them was dragged to the top of the hill with hubby's help. Hopefully getting it up and into the buyers trailer will go well.
So we are all set for them to move along to their new home up near Spokane this weekend. I sure am going to miss them, but I know it will work better for the family as a whole when their pasture is devoted to the goats and the children can romp around out there with the goat kids.
