Our goats in Eldorado

This summer and fall we have a goat herd residing in Eldorado. They were brought to Eldorado from a ranch south of here, to given the goats a place to graze, and to help Eldorado out with reducing the level of weeds and vegetation.

The goats are contained in a small area on one of the main roads in the subdivision, and are taken out to various sites in Eldorado every day to graze in open areas and also on private property.

It is just the funniest thing to watch them as they are being taken to a place to graze. There are two cowboys on horseback and two herding dogs, all trying to get a bunch of over 100 goats to head in the determined direction. Herding goats proves to be no easy task!

I do that all the time - know one thing, but say something else.
