Southern, twins all around for the 3 remaining does out of the "problem" line. 3 with singles from that line, 3 twins. I brought two of them to the stockyards last week. :hu

One of the does with a single had triplets last year so she gets a pass.

Babies are all well. I let them out in the big field this week for the first time in a long time. It has been too muddy, wet, cold and snowy for the last few weeks. All of the babies were bouncing around and having so much fun! :love

VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!!
There is green growth in my fields!! :weee

The winter may finally be over.

I had to get a load of hay yesterday. We were down to about 4 days worth. The new growth and sending 11 goats to the stockyards helped but I think we still have a few weeks before we are ready to turn them loose. We were unloading it, I was lifting it off the trailer and putting it on the hayvator into the barn, hubby was stacking in the barn. I kept hearing a goat bleating in the barn at regular cycles. Hubby sticks his head out the door and says he thinks "P" is claiming all the hay for herself. He said she was standing at the wall watching the hay go by on the conveyer and bleating "MINE" every time a bale passed by. :gig

Glad it is clearing up for you all. Stinks about the culls.
We have some "green" showing up too! I am so happy!
Kiko kids are some of the friendliest, sweetest kids ever.
They come out so independent!

Have a few questions though.. I will pm you when I can.

LGP 112 had a single boy last night. She is a first timer. Not there when we finished barn chores at 8:30. soaking wet, yet standing and looking for the teat at 9:30. He is doing well, full belly and latching on great when I checked this morning. This is our first Bullet Grandbaby born at our farm. :weee

3 more can go any time. 2 were open when we ultra-sounded in January and have been in the buck pen since. We are almost done.

Been busy. We had to get a load of hay on Tuesday, seed the fields on Wednesday and hubby had to take dearest son to trap practice Thursday night. Hope to get some this weekend.

Last night when I was driving in, I saw from the road a momma by herself in the field with a black baby next to her. Even thought is was about 150 yards away, I was certain it was a new baby. I went in the house, quickly changed and headed out. In the 4-6 minutes it took me, she had gone from the field, down the alley and to the barn gate. Roughly 150 feet with a brand new baby. He is HUGE, bigger than some of the kids born last week are now. He was bouncing around and running. If he wasn't nursing a momma with the afterbirth still hanging out I would have sworn he was a few days old.

So, one more boy for the list, second Bullet grandbaby born. Two more does who can go any time and two more that were open in January and put back in the buck pen then.

We are in the final stretch. :th
