Remember my post on “the Gateway Goat”?….. *****(The Gateway Goat)***** Don’t fall for that first “Gateway Goat”!….. …..unless you’re ready for a lifetime of being outsmarted & made to feel foolish by capricious caprines….. …..it’s their job…and they’re very good at it……..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Finally….. The “extra” roosters went to auction last weekend…..

We collect the skeletons of what’s left after the vultures and insects have finished their clean-up-duties….. …..actually…..I’m not sure why…
