Anybody else hear themselves repeat something like this on the daily..... ? "Karma!!! Do NOT take my "tubshroom" out of the bathtub drain!!!" For some reason she likes to take my metal drain strainer (brand name of "Tubshroom") out of the drain. It gets stinky with hair, lint and soap scum...

Thank you everyone for the condolences. I was so excited about his future in my herd, he was going to be a huge player once he was big enough. The breeder asked if I might be interested in another buck, either from another breeding this year or possibly from another out of the same dam next...

Mirage AKA Mr Miragi passed away this morning. He had been happy, eating well and getting around fine. I thought we had turned the corner and were getting better. Then, this morning, he went downhill so fast. He collapsed before I get ahold of an open vet and he was unable to breathe well. We...

Mirage and his friend, 3 legged kitten, Plank, snuggling on my lap after a midday bottle

Voodoo is one of my 3 "smaller" boer does. By smaller, I estimate she is around170-180 lbs. I expect Bailey, one of my biggest does to be in the 200 to 230 lb range. I would LOVE to get my hands on a scale to find out. I can get really close with estimating my small goats as we were able to...

Ok, update: Yesterday Bailey my old lady boer herd queen delivered her kids during morning feed rounds. I think she is 9. She likes to give us trips so when we saw she was started with a kid on the ground already, we stuck around. She had the first kid, then passed 2 decomposing half grown...

I hope I didnt confuse everyone... the pic I posted last is Mirage, he is the new kid that isnt feeling well. Yesterday I only managed to get him to take a total of 10 oz of milk. Today I convinced him to take 14, but it wasnt easy. This evening after his injections of B complex and Banamine, he...

I forgot about a funny thing today. I was giggling so hard I had tears running down my face on this one. I was snuggling my baby hippo when I said he kind of looked like a donkey and hippo mixed together... Like a Hippa Donka Donk.... and thats it. Hippo... Donkey... BaDonkaDonk..... I...

Here is a pic of the kid we are praying for, Mirage

So my pretty little boy got here yesterday afternoon. He took 2 full bottles yesterday and we situated him in the house with the kids his age. This morning he was curled under the bench, in the shade, shivering and twitching, mucus coming out of his nostrils, sounding congested, refused his...

LOL, you may be right! ;) So this morning we had some excitement. I was working on my first cup of coffee, my son came in from feeding the farm to let me know that Brie kidded twins, passed the placenta and the kids were nearly dry, so I had time to finish said cup of coffee. We went out...

I had a Bobby Bobblehead already.... still haven't settled on a name for him yet, but I am sooo in love! I cant get enough of him. I may or may not have just sent a deposit for new genetics...... I was offering to buy a nubian buck kid last year (was going to be a birthday present for myself)...

Introducing my baby hippo. Mulling over names: Mamas Cannoli, Minty Hippo, Hubibopotamus, Baby Buffalo, Anday the Giant.... such a precious little bobblehead!

We have another kid! BlueberryAnne has always been stingy with color. She is about 85 percent dappled herself, but prefers to give me one or 2 kids, usually only in red, red, or red. Once she gave me a little red doe with a few little white spots. This time however, she dropped a miniature...

LOL, I meant that the fuzzy face that needed a shave was my kid... as in my human kid. So todays adventure was a girl party. The 2 FF nubian does fed the kids and tucked them into bed, then opened their gate and let the yearlings out of their pen to party too. Apparently noone brought the wine...

That is my fuzzy kid.... growing up, the boys would stroke Janes beard (nigerian dwarf doe) and say that some day, their beards would be longer, but in the meantime, they would stroke hers while they pondered thoughtful thoughts... or something.... whatever boys think about..... Baby goats are...

This morning we had a baby surprise first thing. Summer Love had a single doeling, delivered and half dry by feeding time. She is also a FF. This kid has ears a mile long and bling too.... a few spots and what looks like paint smeared all down her back with a white skunk stripe down her back...

I did say we were due to kid any day now.... turns out it was tonight. I heard Blue Moon calling, but it was near their regular dinner time so I asked my son to run out and feed, and check everyone since we are close to due dates. He came running in saying there was a baby in a puddle. I know...

Ummm..... in case you havent met me yet,..... it really doesnt take much for me to have house kids! Both my nubian yearling bucks were bottle fed and would still love to follow me right into the kitchen and several of my nubian does would love to come in if given the choice as well. We are due...

So there is this thing.... Apparently, in the middle of the night while I am deep asleep.....there is this phenomenon that transpires on my bed....... Picture something along the lines of "Kitten Fight Club".... but with OtterPop as the exclusive club member. Spinning, jumping, rolling and...
