I know you will keep the goats safe, Murphy trusts you and so do I. <br />I'm doing a cheese making course next week, can't wait, but made from cows milk, I don't have a goat any more and when I did he didn't provide the necessary milk.<br />I do so love reading your blog!!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-21335703661344592342010-05-20T11:14:57.087-07:002010-05-20T11:14:57.087-07:00That sounds like a delicious meal!

My husband ran into our neighbor at the store the other day and he asked if we were having troubles with coyotes because they have lost three calves already this year to coyotes. So far (knock on wood!) we have not lost a goat to a predator since we have had the livestock guardian dogs but there seems to be more and more coyotes every year around here! I loved the cute pictures of Murphy, he looks like such a sweet goat!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664824920459341153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-4619644197841268132010-05-18T21:58:20.142-07:002010-05-18T21:58:20.142-07:00You have the most interesting stories, Connie, liv...You have the most interesting stories, Connie, living in the country.

It tasted just fine, but it was more fun bouncing them. <br /><br /> I suggest locking Murphy and the boys in the barn at night. We lost a few goats to Mountain Lions. Cutting the limbs of trees (inside and outside)around the goat pen that are hanging over the fence might help. I can think of only one way of stopping a hungry Mountain Lion from getting you or your animals. But I don't know your views on that. Stay safe!

Animals can usually tell things that we can't like earthquakes..I was born there and it always seemed they acted odd prior to an earthquake..you've probably heard that all before too. Anyway,,, Lovely pics and thanks for sharing them.

I'm willing to try it again, but maybe just not at the market.<br /><br />I heard a mountain lion while we were in Murphys, and the local deer were spooked and pretty edgy. But the Old Guy and my friend didn't believe me, saying that mountain lions don't exist in the wild anymore! They thought they didn't exist outside of John Wayne movies! Yeah... and the bears don't either eh? ;)<br />So listen to Murph. HE knows what he's saying, even if you don't!!<br />xoxoxTatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-85757430821024086122010-05-17T15:18:56.836-07:002010-05-17T15:18:56.836-07:00The cheesemaking and recipes really have me intere...The cheesemaking and recipes really have me interested. I might be tempted to buy some goats milk cheese at the farmers market to try the cheesecake!<br /><br />I'm worried about the mountain lion, though, and hoping you'll be locking the boys in until he finds another stomping grounds.

Hey if you do does that mean like children they feel safe and would not let you know anything was wrong, and wouldn't another animal sense or smell you? <br /><br />I saw this movie where a guy poured goat pee on himself so another animal would not smell him, so he could sneak by- it was too funny.
