Wishing everyone a very MERRY Christmas and Prosperous New Year

My thoughts will be with my Family in Nebraska....

Was thinking kidding was

COMPLETE

maybe not so much....

Noticed a doe this morning that slipped my radar.

I put her in the pen with only one other doe and her kids.

I'm thinking I basically lost my radar MONTHS ago,

maybe even years!

After viewing the camera when I got to work I figured out

she was going to kid any minute.  I rushed home and found...

Obviously I bred her to one of my nubian bucks

their ears seem to be...oh I don't know....

AS LONG AS THEIR LEGS!!!

Arrival of Twins

I left work pretty late yesterday and normally I

would go straight home from work. This particular

day I decided to stop and visit with a friend.  We

talked for about a hour or so  I guess it was.

When I got home I knew I had milk to get pasteurized

for the 4 kids in the barn that I had taken away

from their mother for one reason or another.

By the time I got out to do chores it was almost 8.

Seems like if I even just TOUCH the barn door, those

kids can hear it and start screaming.  I am

such they think they were being starved to death.

They have water, grain and hay in there with them

so they wouldn't have starved.  Anyway, I get in

there and set all the buckets and bottles down.

Go over to their pen to make sure everyone is ok

and get a bottle ready to start feeding.  I glace

over to themilkers pen just to see that they are all ok

......HA.......

The spotted is a boy

The other one is a girl

Fun Times in the Barn.....

Caught this on the goat cam

this afternoon.

Can't get outside and run around today

it's too muddy.

Let's just play with Aunt Jessica

Yeah, that will be fun!

  

What could POSSIBLY be more fun than

jumping and bouncing off that Big Ol' belly of hers?!!!

WEEEEEE....WEE WEE  WEEEEEEE
