Visiting "Mr. Frank"

we have a neighbor across the river from us whom Case lovingly calls Mr. Frank. Mr. Frank is the tall cowboy type who reminds me of a combination of my dad and grandpa Bill as he has a mustache and wears wranglers and wrangler denim shirts.. and that is ALL he wears. I imagine thats all he owns. I like people like him. :)

He lives on a farm as well, and I am pretty sure he wishes Eric was his son, he treats us like family which is really nice being that our families live at least 3 hours away. He helps us out with things, and we do the same. Just last week he came over and disced one of our fields and helped Eric level it with a transit. I like neighbors like him. :)

He farms hay, raises cattle, has some horses and now has some barbados sheep, boer goats and some oberlhasi dairy goats which are funny looking as they have no ears. He called us up to let us know that the Oberlhasi Nanny (thats what you call a mamma goat) had kidded (given birth) to triplets and wanted Case to see them. So we headed over and Case who believes he is a whisperer of all animals, instantly fell in love and began to work his "magic" as he says...


He started by introducing himself to the Boer Nannies


Then went into the Nanny Nursery... and introduced himself to the Oberhlasi Nanny and her babies


Loving on the kids

Saying Goodbye to the Boer Nanny who is ready to kid very soon


Thanks Mr. Frank for sharing your goats with us!
