Loving the herd life
Good morning all. Elsie and kids are doing great. Kids are bouncing off the walls, off Mom, off each other, zipping around have a good time running in and out of the warming barrel. They are so much fun to watch. It is supposed to warm up to around 50 here today, with bright sunshine. I may let Elsie out for a little while. The kids are staying pretty close to the heat barrel, so I guess they would still like it to be a little warmer before they go out this young. I can just open the door to the pass-through door and let them make the decision to go out or stay in. Will wait til the afternoon and let it get as warm as it is going to get though. If they go out, I will put the camera on the yard. Gonna play this one by ear, see if it really does get that warm. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

He would be out there lovin on em all the time if he could. These are our first babies, and I am going to have a hard time convincing him we need to sell some of them. I am not very good at convincing him of things, Dusty still has her horns. ....sigh.... He keeps saying "but they look so cute on her". "She is little, she needs em." "It's gonna hurt her." I will let you know who wins.SmallFarmGirl said:"Papaboid" is out there loving them....
Elizabeth, who was the first born doeling, is still the smallest kid, but it is amazing how much these kids have grown. I am going to try to get weights on them this afternoon to see how much weight they have put on. She is the shyest of the kids. She jumps at sounds the others ignore, and a lot of the time she lays off by herself. Time will tell, but I would bet that her myotonic gene is strong, and she will faint fairly easily.
Elijah, the Buck and middle born is the most outgoing. He is the first one to pop out of the barrel when we go into the pen, the first to jump on Papaboid when he sits in there with them. He is the most athletic, using mom for a trampoline and climbing mountain. I can really feel the weight going on him.
Erin, the last born is the nosy one. She sticks her little nose anyplace she can get it, checking things out. Mouthing the dishes, hay rack and handle to pass-through door. She is also the cuddliest one. She likes to be held, and will snuggle right down when you pick her up.
I was going to let them out yesterday when it was so warm, but the mud is deep enough I just didn't feel comfortable. I did open the outside door so they could get some fresh air. It is rainy today, and tomorrow I have to go to the Dr. again, so maybe Saturday. The weekend is supposed to be sunny with temps in the 40s.
Elsie is doing GREAT. She is such a good mom. She is eating and drinking and all systems are functioning just as they should. She has regained her girlish figure pretty good. I think in terms of our herd future, buying her was the best thing we ever did. The people that we bought her and Eli from came to visit them and see the babies yesterday afternoon. They really miss them, and I have a feeling that we will be seeing them quite often. That is fine with me, they are really great people.
Well, this post turned into a book...sorry bout that. Hope everybody has a wonderful day.
