Went up and helped Dean this morning and then this afternoon Gramma rode with me and we went south and looked at cattle. Snapped some pictures of the grass.

He wasn’t probably 100 feet away. then he took off and acted weak in the back end. Some bow and stick person must have stuckContinue reading “Goofy goat”
