Retired, goat keeper, and chicken wrangler
Unedited original, with bonus Libby butt. Also, the only possible four goat version, my weird smile, Libby contorted like a circus goat and Grizzy's disembodied face licking the empty feeder like a Dickensian orphan (this isn't their regular pasture, I do feed them, swear).

Tried to get a four goat selfie yesterday but was unsuccessful. Best I got was this twofer, which required some editing. Captured Snowdrift's resting murder face. Snowflake looking innocent as usual, although she immediately began bashing me after the photoshoot.

Normal goats: Spring! It's fake PNW spring, sunny and warm, we will frolic and jump! Libby: If you don't let me in this MotherF***ing Barn, I will not be held responsible for my actions! #GoatSky #SmallFarmLife

The dog on the other hand, thinks this is awesome!

Awww, Snowdrift, very much not wanting to come out and play in her namesake!

Hang on, what's that behind Snowflake?

Goats greeting the unexpectedly aggressive snow this morning with skepticism. In fact, why are there only three goats in this photo? Wait.....

The goats are enjoying the sunshine! And Grizzy (full name: Tanngrisnir) decides to come in for his close up (really he's angling for another cookie). #SmallFarmLife #GoatSky

Feral cat, that's slowly warming up to my sister!

Please, please can I go into the barn and eat the inside hay right from the bale and tromp around and try to eat things I'm not allowed to / would kill me? Please? I looooove the barn!!! #GoatSky #SmallFarmLife

Goat thanksgiving involved a fresh hay bale in the feeder (winter hay bales last about 3 weeks) and cookies (which they get every morning because they are spoiled spoiled goats). 🐐⛅ #goatsky

OK, you asked for it:

Ginger and Pepper are not impressed by your mean person today and are willing to come throw down with them, although they will have to wait until it stops raining. (They hate rain even more than mean people!)

After recently being described as "comically wide" and going 10 days past her due date, requiring induction from the vet, Libby gave birth to two boys! Very cute! We really thought she'd have four again this year but she apparently decided that was too much work. #GoatSky

I cannot provide the apparently traditional #proofOfCat for BlueSky. I can provide #proofOfGoat. I hope this will prove acceptable to the powers that be.

Wild mountain goat we met on the trail in the Enchantments this July. His mamma is just out of frame and he followed her off into the brush shortly after. 🐐🌤️

Best thing at the Washington State fair was young cows getting their apparently daily bath! They had more beauty products than I do.

Freddie from last summer - one of the best goat expressions I've seen! Cottonwoods Farm in Olympia WA.
