Here she is.... Cinnamon. Not quite two weeks old and just a bundle of energy.
With her momma Ginger.
I have wanted to keep a doe out of Ginger for years but she kept giving my boys. I am so excited. She is polled like her momma.

Raining today and in the 30's. I feel guilty complaining because I know so many other people are much worse off.
Kidding could start again any time now. I did udder checks last night, no one is close. They really are sick of me copping a feel.

Doc came out today to ultrasound the girls. He checked the 37 goats who haven't kidded yet. We found three maybes and one no. I put the four back in with the boys and we are ready to go.
We should have babies any day now. Nissan and one of the AKI girls both have loose ligaments. Doc said they had both dropped the kids and are ready to go at any time. They are going to wait for snow, I just know it.

Hoping for a great great year for you J.!

This weather stinks. We are not prepared for single digits for any length of time. We do occasionally get single digits overnight but it rarely stays that cold for more than a few hours. We had teens all day Thursday and negatives overnight.
Nissan kidded when it was -3 degrees. We lost the doe kid but hubby was able save the buck kid. They were cold with frozen coats when he found them and I had just checked on her an hour before.
It is raining and 40's tonight. The forecast tomorrows high of -3 with a low of -7 tomorrow. Tuesday is a high of 10 and a low of -3. I am checking as often as I can but I do have to sleep and go to work. I have the 6 that can kid any time locked in the barn but no guarantees there. Nissan was in the barn.
We spent several hours tonight doing everything we could. Hanging lamps, spreading hay on the floor and checking for any possible drafts. I still have 10 does out in the field with no power, which means no heated buckets. I am bringing out water 4 times a day.
I really hope there isn't another storm coming in behind this one. This is three in a row with only a few days in between.
I know there are people much worse off than we. I am worried about everyone in the path of this storm. My coworkers complain about being cold, heat bills and not being able to go out. They have no idea how insignificant these complaints are when it is literally a matter of life and death for the farmers who put food on their plates.
