Mucking is So Much Fun

Having surgery on my shoulder on 31 October 2023 meant I could get started rehabbing during the winter. That was a good plan but I didn’t think about how that would affect my goats. Even after I felt strong enough, with all the rain we’ve had I couldn’t get in and muck out their enclosure. Today, it was dry enough to slog around in there and get the biggest of the mess out.

These are before and after shots. The “after” represents three wheelbarrows full of wet goat shit and straw moved over into the muck pit. Just an FYI, wet goat shit is a lot heavier than dry goat shit!

I probably could have scraped out another half a load but I was just too tired to do any more. At least the stones are exposed now; B&C no longer have to tiptoe through the slop. Ed

PS: Cinder approves of my work. She’s there in the lower half of the after shot looking for earthworms.
