I'm always surprised at how resilient Boer Goats can be. This breed originates from South Africa and has become one of the best meat goats ever bred. As other animals, including the human variety, head for the shade or the AC, the Boers are all out sunning themselves, enjoying the lovely day.
I'm the first to admit, that I love our goats. They are such personalities! Fluffy is herd queen. Although very pregnant, no one challenges her. First to the pasture. First to the water bucket. First to eat. First to get pats. Everyone waits patiently until Fluffy indicates everything okay. She's sweet as can be to the boys, gently correcting them when necessary.
The boys are busy! Like little perpetual motion machines with only two settings: High and Off. Like most toddlers, they race every where: hurry to the pasture! hurry to the barn! hurry to the feed tray! hurry to the milk wagon! hurry to see what grandma brought! Most pictures I take of them ends up where one or the other is blurry.

I think I caught them sharing a secret. We'll never know.
