oh, my aching back
Friday Jun 18, 2004
I threw out my back last night. We just brought home a small herd of San Clemente (aka Channel Island) goats from Orange county. Around midnight I was picking them up out of the back of the truck and putting them in their new pen. Afterwards, ouch! I must be getting old or something and my back is letting me know it. The buck here is around 75 pounds (34 kg) and was wiggling around a bit as I lifted him out of the truck. I'm sure he's the one who did it.
The entire herd had been abandoned, and some friends in Orange county were feeding them. The baby was born last week and is only about 10 inches (25 cm) tall. One other doe might be pregnant. They are a unique, rare breed, and look very deer-like.
I need to move some hay this afternoon, and those 120 pound (54.5 kg) bales of hay are looking big and heavy...
