GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURS

![IMG_3721.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/EoK4LqSPB6J135VJVNvURLuYDoTdMJZXmfVmtSwKkvbhnTZuaFGFGogpAcAp4VnfE1H.JPG)

Never was the expression more true than in a farming community. *Good fences make good neighbours*. If you have any dream of homesteading there are two aspects you have to establish. Water! Fences! The rest; is minor details if you don't have sufficient water and ***good fences***! Of course the first thing you have to establish if you hope to keep goats on your dream homestead is that; ***if water can get through the fence - so can the goat!!!***

![IMG_3452.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/EoAZpY1S6DWi5AQBH3ETGkQriTpNeK4NDtGBhG7Bg8PGBvga9Cvitftc9p77UgBAu52.JPG)

Because we have spent a *lot of time and even more money* on our boundaries, both internal and external fences, we seldom have problems with our fences or our neighbours. But there will always be the exception. Earlier I was horrified to gaze over the fields and notice pretty white specks floating around the neighbours field. He doesn't have goats. But he does have a whole field of onions going to seed that he will soon harvest. I quickly grabbed the binoculars to search the field where my goats *should have been*. They weren't. Scanning the neighbours field through the binoculars I saw that those lovely white specks were my naughty goats!

![IMG_3710.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/EoiVgELdbCFXoPfAgUFby5hfynwrx3spuM5v7fcVVDtTjoEzRtLzQ8dMqg28Bez2wyM.JPG)

Immediately I started to run - rather sprint - across the fields. At the same time calling in reinforcements over the two way radio. Reinforcements being FarmerBuckaroo. I wasn't sure which was worse. The goats in the onions or my husband getting hold of the goats! I arrived first. His truck shortly afterwards.

![IMG_4168.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/EoK4w2hzGaMuU7tEBiM6tirqRXLcrmKMoWQQcvGWJgz7rzZsE4P34jMoPKhrhxeGSne.JPG)

My goats saw me coming. I always giggle over imagined conversations between my goatie girls; "*She's seen us! Keep your horns down! Don't make eye contact!*" Thankfully they were very far from the actual onions. Despite their mischievous inclinations - despite what my husband may say (or threaten) - my goats are really good kids. After calling them by name a couple times they came frolicking over. As if they had just been going for a stroll. Innocently.

![IMG_3729.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/EorzKJU79hridXPeD58WbswHLCb2dFxZNuBPRwzxdnZQkiePUPKCVRqLJs2bu6Yjeeq.JPG)

Once they were safely back in the field we returned to the onions to make sure they hadn't actually begun the feast. Goats are browsers, not grazers like sheep. They had been after the thorn trees and the wild veld shrubs. Phew! Onions? What onions? They had ***no idea!!!*** What we ***did*** find in among the onions were plenty of other little creatures.

![IMG_2814.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/Eo6JWtPEZ5AVxxd9RaSHz1jT4pXcDQsoWT46ig4jRR1mBptNsLqJTnA2cuibkQC67fi.JPG)

The bees and butterflies danced lightly from onion head to onion head. Landing so softly and briefly it was like watching a dainty dance.

![IMG_3740.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/Eo8SLXwqQbe4xkMLMp8Gs2oquBorJtp8B2o3tWmKqLbyWXdonSJ6EWrMz11E5BbvAty.JPG)

Also flitting among the onions were dozens of Sunbirds. The striking green and blue flashes alerted us to the little Malachite Sunbird males feasting. I noticed a couple of the female Malachite Sunbird but she was so shy that I could barely focus my camera and she was gone again.

![IMG_2800.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/Eo24Cf2H263zEL5se9YWMCL3PE6dnMZLQ8fM1f9se2coET5GRV5Moh8U5Bwbv2MJcsp.JPG)

Without these remarkable little pollinators the onions would not be so fruitful. It is very special watching them all. Surprisingly the scent of the onions is not overpowering as one would imagine. The honey these hard little bees will produce promises to be unique.

![IMG_3427.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/buckaroobaby/EoCgjSYVL7oBhnrDcvPzPgCoeBdnXyp7SGLZzd6aRj3XBzHNGUHuxpoLG1gCQgGVHP9.JPG)

As for my beloved rebels. They of course got more than a piece of FarmerBuckaroo's mind. He read them the riot act despite their innocent gazes and gentle grunts of indignation. ***"If I catch you outside of our borders again, I will use those onions to stuff a couple roast goat shanks! I don't care how delicious your milk is in my coffee!!"***

Hi Buckaroobaby. A fellow Klein Karooster here. Nice to meet you. I just found you today and enjoying your stories. Your goats seem like hard work lol. 

That skaapsteker you found was in lovely condition. They are pretty cool snakes. I know you aren't keen on them, but they are one of the good guys. That was actually the first snake I was ever bitten by so I have a bit of a bias towards them lol. 

Hope you are enjoying the rain we've just had, gosh it was needed. 

Have a super awesome day. 

Cheers
Ranger Andy

Hi!! Ranger Andy? Where are you based? Are you in a Reserve? I lived - many years ago - in Imfolozi. My first husband was a trails officer there. Natal is very different to the Karoo. But I love the Western Cape. Except the snakes. I hope by "first snake bite" that you don't mean you have more! And no, goats are actually easy, wonderful. Best pets ever. 

Nice to meet another South African. When I joined (steemit) there were barely any and I felt like I was in on another planet with most Americans - and the few Aussies that I had more in common with. See you around @andrastia

Hi Buckaroobaby. Thanks so much for the reply. I'm not actively in conservation anymore although I often wish I could be. Staying in Oudtshoorn for the meantime.

I'm so glad you are enjoying the Western Cape, we are extremely fortunate. I understand your not wanting the snakes around, we tend to have some of the ones with a bad rep that show up to the party.

I've never been to Natal but I've read a lot about Imfolozi and it always seemed like a very nice part of the country in terms of natural heritage.

Goats seem mischievous. They definitely have a sense of humour don't they? Your onion crops are looking so pretty. How long do they still have to go before harvest? You leave them in the ground for a while after they die off hey?

Yup I've been bitten by two wild snakes, and one pet snake - none of them were venomous - I don't mind being bitten by small non venomous ones, it's better than being bitten by the alternative.

Yes I can believe it that there were hardly any Saffers when you joined Steemit, we often tend to be late to these kind of things, you know, running on Africa time and all. Hive is becoming more popular now though, so I'm sure we'll see loads more joining, I mean we have plenty to share, it seems a good place to do it. There are quite a number of Aussies on here that I get along with great too, we seem to have a lot in common with them compared to many other countries/cultures.

Would be cool to have a meet up in the Klein Karoo sometime and share some stories. Until then, have a superb day and I hope the goats behave themselves.

Cheers, lekker bly.

Ranger Andy

Oops those goats almost in big trouble, saved the day with lovely photographs of the birds, bees and flowers, all is forgiven. 

Perhaps Mr Buckaroo is worried his morning coffee is going to have a hint of onion too...

Looks like things are greening up there - is the drought a thing of the past? Goats are looking healthy - sure glad they are so responsive to you so they didn't get into real trouble! Beautiful shots of the sunbirds!

Yes!!! OVER!!!! Isn't the green wonderful?!!  We have been touch and go over the last year, not being absolutely sure whether the drought was over. Every time there's the promise of rain and then it passes. But the last couple months we have been blessed with a LOT. Now you can see what didn't make it. But on the flip side so much has survived which we didn't see before all the rain

Graceful indeed. But quite cheeky when necessary - driving much bigger birds away from his little family

Such mischievous goats glad they didn’t do any damage to the onion field this was a fun read even though I know it wasn’t fun when it happened 

Love all the photos 

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

👍 buckaroobaby

Thank you @tatoodjay! On hind sight it was more like a run than a walk. And I didn't get too many scenic shots. Just the close-ups. But it does show a different angle of our world
