The Bighorn Basin, where we live, receives less
than 10 inches of annual precipitation. Were it not encompassed by four
distinct mountain ranges, it would surely be called the Bighorn Desert. At any
rate, our arid climate typically provides ideal conditions for my solvophobic
goats.
Solvophobia, the fear of dissolving in water, is
latent during drought and dry spells but problematic during and after rain and
snow events. The goats spent the last snowstorm in the barn, but when the sun
came out, we were compelled to scrape the snow off of a sunny knoll and make a
nest for them with straw and hay.
