Yep I gave the goats the boot Straw! :lol: I don't know why I didn't think of putting them with the other goats sooner. Duh! There are 2 lambing stalls in there that they can kid in.

So we crotched out Beatrix and there's no sign of any udder development, so back out she went. O'Malley is in the old goat stall now awaiting whatever fate may befall her. Now I don't think she aborted, because I guesstimated she would be about 3 months, so there would have been some kind of fetus. I think she just had bloody scours.

The Jacobs are back down at the creek. Happily they went! Now I'm completely pooped! :th

Let lambing season commence! :woot

Oh I have the BEST idea!!! I need to write it down so I don't forget. So I'm getting rid of all the poinsettias, and there are a bunch as you know. Hmmm what can I do with all those plastic pots? I can make FEEDING TROUGHS out of them! I will connect them all side by side with clips or something. They will be individual feed compartments, plus the whole thing will be lightweight and easy to carry, plus each unit will have drainage holes! I just need some kind of base to secure it to so they don't tip but that will be easy enough to figure out.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!! :ya :bun :ya

Sounds good for temporary feeding...but if the containers are the black ones with ridges up and down...they don't last long outside in freezing temps, nor sun...for too long.

Excited for your lambies :bun

Sorry Bridge...just thought I'd mention that before you went to lots of trouble doing this. Maybe you have super duper pots and this won't be a problem? :hide
