I would,t hold my breath waiting for bigfoot........, but freezing cold and snow here would be a disaster, people wouldn't know how to function......about 35 percent of p/up trucks still sport a confederate flag flying from there trucks .

It's the same way here I guess...at least that's what I hear from the locals...nobody here knows how to drive in the snow. I moved here in late January and it was during that nation-wide cold front storm. I drove from AZ and I think the coldest place we stopped had to have been Oklahoma. It was in the 20's during the day.
But after that first week it got a lot warmer here in TN. Now there's this heatwave going on and i'm looking forward to the cooler weather coming next week

Do you have the pick up trucks with (on the back window) the label "In memory of (usually) Bubba. September 1998-April 2018

I laugh when I see "In Memory Of...…" on the back glass of a pick up. I can just hear the conversation...."Yeah, we shore miss ol' Bubba.....it wuz hard picking up all them pieces after that there train wreck.....talk about a closed casket funeral! Ol' Bubba wuz ugly, getting smacked by a train shore didn't hep his looks any.....so we took that insurance money and bought us a brand new truck.....Bubba woulda wanted us to.....(it's parked in front of a 1968 single wide) Bubba said "Hey y'all watch this!" and then that train hit him.....Never did find all the beer in the cooler...what a waste of good beer....Pore ol' Bubba

Actually someone down the road from me has a 'in memory of doyle' on the back of their pickup and I always wonder what the story is behind that...I sure as heck made a lot of things up about it!!

A cool damp hand towel around the back of the neck can really help ya with some of that heat and keep those heat headaches away....if ya need a fresh breath of air then breathe thru the towel....the air will be cooler and help ya get a deep breath..........if ya get naked, that neighbor will do more than bleet like a goat....

Sure hope it isn't anything that can affect your other ones....

Miss @B&B Happy goats,

I was looking for videos on YouTube on tractor maintenance and stumbled across this video that was released just yesterday:

I hope it helps you to cool off!

How's Spice doing? And the little goatie? And most importantly, how are you doing?

I have just come inside the house, contractions stopped, i have gone inside, there is no kid...not so sure what is going to happen with her tonight, she is eating and drinking fine, she has had several power punch , some red cell....she didn't labor or push really hard to be as tired as she is, so i am thinking she may have a very small dead kid in her, the junk that came out didn't smell but looked old....I had checked eye lids two days ago and she was perfect, this afternoon they are white, there was no blood in anything that came out of her. If she is failing in the morning I will put her down.
Some decisions in life really suck when you know what the right thing to do is....it's time for a cool shower, eat something and go out and check on her again. ...

have you checked the field for babies? I sure hope she's ok. Poor girl.

I hope she makes a turn around in the night. Was her due date now? Does she have milk?
She could have a infection in her uterus and it has opened up.

 

[AmberLops]

I'm hoping everything will turn out just fine in the morning...I sure hope so
It almost sounds like It could have been a pyometra...but I don't know if that happens in goats ?
Does she have a high temperature?

Poor Spice. It doesn't sound good.
