Okay, website updateing didn't go quite as planned. I got one page done and the internet went haywire, then I got annoyed, and distracted. Adoy!

Buuut, we did get 2 loads of firewood in the basement. And got the water heaters in the goat troughs. And Tinny seems to be doing much better today. I really have to get a photo to share! She is one of those weird rabbits who really doesn't mind being cradled like a baby (which makes it a lot easier to clean her feet) and she will be all cuddled up in my arms, and i rub her forehead, and she falls asleep. Too darling :)

Well, It is new goat day here at DK Acres :)
We are very proud to add another set of ears to our herd! Meet Mollie!

She is 75% Alpine, 25% Oberhalsi. She freshened 3 weeks ago with a single doeling. Now I get to get her into the swing of milking. I got her so that I would still have milk while all the rest of my girls are dried up to prepare for kidding in April.

That's a very pretty goat. Congrats!

Adoy, eh? Sarah (Lost Nation) had to explain that to me when she said it, must be a Michigan thing....:p

Well her second day milking and... she still kicks like a mule LOL. Really she isn't that bad, she is still learning. Not to mention her poor little udder is so TIGHT now that her kid isn't always drinking from her. I talk sweet to her and giver her nice massages and I think it makes up for the probably owy udder. But it really is coming in lovely! And those little tiny teats are already starting to get bigger (which is good because man have they been causing my hands to cramp!)

Thanks for all the nice comments. I think she will turn out fabulously. I want more weight on her though. I don't care for a skinny goat, whether they are in milk or not!

I know I knew the word before Sarah, but I talk to her a lot so I may be getting into the swing of saying it more LOL I kinda pick up little language and accents very easily without meaning to. You should hear me after watching a British movie :rolleyes:
