Goats Have Left the Island

The goats were reluctant to leave the island this past Friday! 

 We were successful in getting them on the boat to cross to mainland after more than an hour trying to herd the mothers and their babies.

The mothers did not want to leave their babies behind but only so many goats fit on the boat!

 Eventually they were on their way back to the truck but not without babies escaping through the fence.

 

 It was more work than we anticipated but the goats have moved on to their next destination and have left the island bare of underbrush.  They ate every last bite of green that they could find and left us with a view that hasn't been seen in years!
