actually @Baymule I have 8 goats to freshen but 5 are due in a 5 day period. when are you gonna come get yours? and bring @Devonviolet with you, she wants a lamancha for minimunchies and boy do I have a girl for her. I guess i'm nuts but they just kept coming into heat so I kept taking them to the buck.
so far baby bunny count is 14. bess had 9 and callie had 5. all fat happy little things. Maggie is due to kindle this thrusday and pinkielee the following Wednesday. had fried rabbit for family dinner on sunday. everyone enjoyed the fruits of my labor... SIL has a turkey fryer that he loves to use so I let him do most of the cooking. he fried potatoes and the rabbit, I did the corn on the cob and mixed up a green salad and ds#1 made caramel brownies. add a glass of sweet tea and what more could you ask for.

Wow goatgurl! That sounds really tempting! I would LOVE to go visit you with @Baymule!

However, we have so much going on right now, we can't add a couple dairy goats.(More for DH than me) You said you have one LaMancha doe. I would want to bring 2 together, for a number of reasons, one being I don't want my new girls to be lonely during the quarantine period, and have a buddy when they go in with the NDs.

oh silly girl... @Devonviolet I have way more than one girl. I just have one picked out special for you. I knew you wanted to make mini lamanchas and this gal was born last year, a twin. her brother weighed 8+ pounds and she weighed 2. she was so tiny i was amazed. she is a spunky little gal and has grown out well but I would just feel better if she was bred to a nigie instead of a full sized buck. we can certainly add her a friend. just let me know when you're ready. lol.

All righty then! Per Hubby, we need to get the fencing done, before we can think about getting anymore goats. In addition to trying to get the fence done we have a couple more major projects that need doing. Once they are done, we can schedule a visit.

I'm looking forward to it!

I am at a fencing place too. I have two little pastures for the sheep. In the meantime, I have a looooong stretch of fence that needs to be finished.....but DH just had knee replacement surgery and it might be awhile before I can get back to fencing.

it's ok @Baymule, time is the one thing I have lots of. i'm in absolutely no hurry. my sil is going on the 14th for his second knee replacement. he did great on his first one last year. he was in the army airborne and i've told him that's what he gets for jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.
hope youall are staying dry in all the rain that you've been sending my way. we have had about 5 inches so far and i'm sure youall have had more than that. i'm about to need water wings to get to the barn.

 

[Baymule]

Total we have gotten 11 inches. Where these little county roads dip down to go over a creek, they have flooded. Trees down, it's a mess. Fortunately, we are on high ground and when we can't see the end of the driveway for the rain, we have sense enough to stay home. After DH gets over this, he is going to have a full shoulder replacement. He says he won't have that done until winter, we have too much to do for him to be laid up again.

Interesting . . . my son was in the 82nd Airborne! He did boot camp at Lawton, OK & was stationed at Fayetteville, NC. I used to tell him the same thing about jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.

well, the games have begun. ff kidded today, 5 days earlier than expected. good news, her udder is really nice! bad news, one ginormus buck kid. i'm so glad she was able to have him by herself because emma and I went to the vets this morning to get her flea allergy shot, then to mickyd's for a burger, then to the feed store, then to the nursery for a couple of cherry tomato plants, cabbage plants and some seed potatoes. when we got home everyone greeted us except baby bang and Katie. hummm. when I got to the house there was kate laying in front of the barn, hummm again. went up and lo and behold there was bang with her giant baby boy. please, please, please don't let me have another buck year. got her molasses water, some hay and got her put up away from the rest of the girls. mother and baby are doing great. and no... no pictures. this computer and my camera card won't let me share for some reason.

Congrats! Always nice when they do it all by themselves - especially with a big ol' single!
