Around 4 PM we collect the eggs and give snacks to the livestock. They always greet us happily and are excited to get their afternoon snack. The geese wait patiently at the gate from about 3:30. (How do they know what time it is?) When they see us coming they head back to the pen to be ready at the feed trough. The goats come running from the far end of the pasture. The chickens gather round and everyone “accompanies” us to the Cricken Choop where the feed is stored.

Happy homesteading,
T.
