Our Motto
If you have a farm it is good to have a farm motto. This is our motto,
we have it framed. It is a good motto to remember at this time of year
since kidding season is almost upon us. Whatever happens, just keep calm. And carry on.
I tend to disagree. Take, for example, if one is faced with, say, a coyote or a mountain lion. If you panic, the fainting goat faints, thereby giving everyone else time to run. I think that's a really big help.
Oh, poor Marigold, she is the Escapegoat. But it's a noble position. Otherwise the only panic around here is if goatmom comes out in a skirt, then it's pandamonium, body slamming against walls, utter chaos. Our motto is 'No Skirts Allowed'.

Oh yes, I needed these words today. Definitely. Thank you.
Good motto. Does it work?
Words of wisdom!
