*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** Just like the recent over-population of pigs….. We now have an over-population of goats….. …..the herd needs “thinning down”….. If you want to sound cool in rural-lingo…..it’s referred to as a “herd-reduction sale”….. …..what that really means is…..we didn’t plan this right…..and now we’ve got way too many goats…..!…… So now we are having to deal with our own “goat herd…
