Glen Mar Farm Kidding 2016

[GLENMAR]

It's going to be a very busy spring. This year we have 4 does due. Two are first freshners. First up are Iris and Stella. Stella is huge again, I'm guessing triplets again. Iris, my favorite goat, has yet to give me a doe. Maybe this is her year. Rosebud and Holly are first timers. The older two are due in April, The younger two are due in June.

I will be bottle feeding until almost September. We also have the bottle calf. I have no goat milk right now. I can't wait to get some milk for the calf and not have to buy milk.

I also ordered 3 new bee packages. My goal is to have 4 hives this year. Add hatching chicks and turkeys and the garden....

Oh. I also have a full time job off the farm and a part time job this year.

Yep. I get no sleep.
