Seems it had a problem with the first owner who returned it and the problem did not duplicate itself for the store manager.After much decision making, a zero-turn will be delivered to the farm on Wednesday...

When the legs go out sideways, they tend to stay that way. Bandaids to the rescue!Electric fence is back on and the goat kids have been learning some lessons... Maybe.. Some seem to be
