Yesterday our little goat Daisy happened to get into the sheep paddock where she decided to throw her weight around, as much as it is. Daisy is petite, no more than 30 lbs of goat. Once inside, those 30 lbs proceeded to seek out the lambs and head butt them, playfully of course. One by one she greeted the little ones, looked them over, and gave them each a good head butt ("you want a piece of this?") Soon, some of the mama sheep became annoyed at Daisy's daring do. Lizzy, for one, lowered her head and charged to shoo Daisy away, but that little spitfire head-butted her as well. Daisy was having a good ol' time, prancing from sheep to sheep in a head-butting binge. The fun ended when Fabio, our very large 300lb ram, stepped up imposingly to let Daisy know that enough was enough. This message was communicated with a loud snort and bull-like pawing at the ground. Daisy decided it was now a good time to quickly prance to the safety of the goat paddock, where she is once again #4 in the barnyard hierarchy.
