>>Don't get goats to cut yer grass; sheep is what you want for that.<<

We do have them but it’s for the milk.

>>I hope you are not too close to REAL farmers.<<

Nope, this was all timber and brush and we are surrounded by nothing but timber and brush. Nearest farmer is a mile away.

That is Ellie's problem: mastitis on her right side.

Got as big and hard as a basketball.

I was too timid in draining her; but the vet paid no attention to her bawling while he lanced her teat with a large needle.

About a gallon of yellowish fluid came out! (And she is just a small Nigerian.)
