Memoirs of a Bug Trapper

Sara and the shop Vac

Well I’m getting ready to go to OFF (the Oregon Flock and Fiber Show). It’s September 22,23,24 and I can’t wait. To get ready for the event I have been trying to keep my fleece as clean as possible, but it’s hard to keep all the vegetable matter out of their coats. This is especially difficult with them desperately trying to get to the feed while you try to miss them as you hit the feeder like your a quarter back from fifteen yards away. If you have ever dealt with goats you’d understand. I usually throw a pile of alfalfa some where to distract them but sometimes they know all my tricks and they don’t fall for it.

Sara my youngest niece was helping me today she loves the ranch and she likes to help. It was her birthday so we went to a movie (Scarey House) and then came home to work with the goats. I was going to try and bathe them but it was a little cool and didn’t want them to get sick. These babies have excellent coverage and I’m pleased with their size. This goat here, Duncan, seems to bringing something new to my herd.

Hank is duncan father he seems to be giving my goat this year good coverage and more size. I can’t wait to see their fleece really come in. It’s going to be beautiful.

Hi Lou,

If you’re going to name a goat after Scott, I think it’s only fair I get one named after me! It’s about time people stopped associating Arnold to the pig from Green Acres.

All the goats are usually named after my childrens friends. It’s kind of been that way since I ran out of names. I will name my next prize winning goat after my oldest and dearest friend Jan or maybe Arnold.

Sara is so cute and the goat is not shabby either.
