In the am I feed the older does first, run to put the kids food in their dish and then scoot out the gate. That way the kids can spend the day in the large pasture to browse. When the older does are done with theirs they run to where the kids are eating and push them out of the dish. Like I said I have to figure out something different. Oh, an idea just hit me...the lawn may have to wait...I will let you know if my idea comes to successful fruition.
again today and it will be clear. Still looks cloudy this morning though it is harder to tell just looking under the solar cover but I'm going to vacuum to waste anyway. Will see what they say at the pool store tomorrow.
) but I am trading even up my Nupine/Alpine mix goats for Dwarf Nigerians..well almost even up. I am trading buck for buck, both young and not proven, 2 adult does 2yrs and two kid does 13 weeks for 3 Dwarf Nigerian does that are 1.5 years and have kidded once. I will most likely let the Nubian/Alpine wether go as well just to keep them all together(if they want him). Those are all coming from one place. 
Third looks like a DN/Pygmy mix to me. The buck is on the small side, but his dam & sire were bred for smaller babies. They all have horns, but I can and have in the past dealt with that and Ginger & Sage have horns as well. Any babies born here will be disbudded. 
. Hose now working overtime. Still cloudy. But I had another thought. I have some skimmer basket "socks" that I got a couple of years ago to see if that would keep some of the 
pine needles from clogging up the pump basket. Yes but ... the socks got full of finer gunk and had to be cleaned a lot so I stopped using them. BUT they might do a good job of trapping pollen.
