Friends came over to see our baby goats. They asked if we'd be selling them. At the same time my husband was saying "No, but we'll probably sell the next ones." I was saying "No and we won't be selling the next ones." They looked at us funny, the guy laughed and said to my husband "I don't...

Oh my, how I've missed you all! Quite the week for me coming in early and staying late to reconnect to my goat addicted friends and thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Am only posting here to be polite. I'm not really an addict. If kids don't count then the ND's should only count as 1/2 and a...

And this is another reason why I'm never on. Can only get on at work. Have been slipping on early before anyone arrives but I had to do a quick check in today. This thread has me struggling to keep from :lol: and makes it very hard to maintain the illusion of working. Peeing on beard. :gig I was...

Try it, you'll like it! Actually you'll probably never want to drink milk from the grocery store again.

NE Kansas....our full Nubian apparently bred December 7. Our mini Nubian either bred Dec 7 (or maybe 14th.) I tried convincing my husband that we needed to have them with the buck (ND) during the fall but he didn't want winter babies. I guess ignorance is bliss (and in this case, ignorance was...

So....numbers prove Hazel was bred Pearl Harbor Day and the guys swear that's the only weekend they had Max in the pen with her and Alice until end of January. That puts Alice at Day 155 today. Tail ligament soft but hard to tell how much more so since she's quite adamant about not being...

She's getting better. It's been a rough go for her. Spinal tap then needed a patch, which didn't work so had to go back for another patch. I know it's bad because she hasn't felt like coming out to goat babies yet.

So I find myself sneaking into work early just to hang with my goat friends. Maybe I've found a way to pull this off (although sleeping in is nice too.....and I've actually been working for the last half hour before I remembered I was going to do this.) Between excitement of babies and trips to...

Well this was a surprising weekend. But I'm going to make a short story long and begin on Thanksgiving day when David came in saying "we've got a critter in the shed." It was a sick raccoon in the boys pen and we had to get Max (our buck) and Scotchy (our wether) out so the guys could shoot...

I realize I'm rarely here and I miss it. I hate not having internet at home and not having time to log onto anything fun at work. (I'm currently hiding out at the office making this post.) Without all the encouragement and support I found here I probably wouldn't be making this joyful...

:weee

Alice, Sadie, Hazel and Tripod say HI!

Catching up. Wow! I don't think I've posted since we got Sadie. She's a blue eyed ND mix that is now 8 months old. We got her in May. That brings us to 4 does, 1 wether and 1 buck. (Seven chickens, 2 dogs, 1 cat and a squirrel in every tree..insert music notes here) Milking was a wonderful...

Just wanted to reconnect. Between work, goats, chickens, dogs, kids, grandkids, life in general, I have sort of been sticking with FB since it's an easier, faster connection. But I've been missing this place and hope I can spend some time catching up...or at least jumping back in. Hope all is...

Your post, and your circumstances, breaks my heart. I can only repeat what the others have said because they have offered so much wisdom. Take it one day at a time and see what each day brings. You know you aren't done today because you still have care to provide. Time will tell. Until then...
