Big and Chunky!

No, I'm not coming out of the stall! 
I am B-I-G, I am C-H-U-N-K-Y,
a little Round, a little PLUMPY, P-L-U-M-P-Y!
There's somethin-something,
Happin' to me...
This goat is kidding, I say a double...
The way she walk, walk
The way she bleat, bleat,
Could be a triple, T-R-I-P-L-E!
When she due? Now-Now!
This girl is B-I-G, This girl is C-H-U-N-K-Y,
a little Round, a little PLUMPY, P-L-U-M-P-Y!

Tune to Madagascar 2: Big And Chunky

Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Kitten found it;
Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon round it.

Bottle-fed Goat gets a New Home in a Barn and Trys to Escape

This bottle-fed baby goat lived in a home, instead of a barn, and thinks she is a person, not a goat! Now that she has a new home at Gillis Hill farm, in the barn, she is not happy! Here she is trying to fit herself under the barn door to escape and go back home, to a house, with people just like her!  Isn't she cute with her pretty blue eyes?

We had a Great Day at 

Rising Meadow Farm

 on 

Sheep Shearing Day!

    We loved learning about the sheep, meeting new friends,

 eating Lamb Chile for the first time, 

and watching the sheep being sheared by 

Master Blade Shearer Kevin Ford and his assistant Joy.  

Thank you Ron and Ann, owners of 

Rising Meadow Farm 

for the open invitation to share in this event

 on your beautiful farm in Liberty, North Carolina!
