Not bad....


GW mentioned that some things are just better left unsaid. She may be right.
We have a lot of Nigies though.

Just think of it this way....if you don't have an exact number, you can always just estimate the number to what you see fit

My littlest DD just ratted me out.
DH started laughing... when I said nooooooooooooooooooooooooo that isn't how many.... My own expression gave it away.
He just shook his head and laughed.

We just won't tell him we have 5 more goats due.

Okay… off of this subject and on to another

NC has been SLAMMED with rain over the last 2.5 days. We haven't seen this much rain in a long time. We (where we are located) didn't get this much when hurricane Matthew hit.

The streams are flowing through the fields and almost everything else is standing water. I was actually getting splashed while walking the goats to the milking area.

I went to give bottles to the doelings and discovered their building is starting to flood It was already pretty late and these babies needed to be moved NOW!

Got them moved to the walkway in the doe barn. Some rain can blow in so I rigged up a "cave" for them to sleep in. The walkway is raised up 2ft off the ground and is a very safe place for them to stay the night.

Being typical bottle baby's they found the move to be great and promptly started bouncing, hoping, leaping. They were some happy kids I just love bottle babies, they are so easy going and don't get stressed out every time you move them.

Hope everyone else in SC, NC, VA are doing okay. This is a lot of rain!

Glad you got the babies moved! That's a lot of water!

Stay safe! We just finally started drying out and will be with rain the next couple weeks as well as the dreaded four letter "S" word....

@Southern by choice please tell me you didn't actually count all the goats... some things you just don't need to know. don't count chickens, dogs or goats. you are truely better off not knowing.

We got a ton of rain
6.5 in over 24 hours and 8 over 48
@Southern by choice I think you have more goats than I do
If you have over 50 you do
