*Sigh* That is a bit further than I can justtify driving for a goat. DH was just down working in Cincinatti last week, stayed in a hotel in KY. I TRIED talking him into going back down there, no go :(
Eh well, I am just thinking I want a buck to cover a few of my lamancha does with next year for meatier kids. I really should wait till the LMs kid and I sell some to buy another buck though. I am an impatient window shopper, what can I say? I'll just sit here and drool all over my computer at all the lovely buck(ling)s you all have and wish my wishes ;)

I got the maternity ward pen expanded to incorporate the kidding pens so Ginger and Nissan can let the babies out to get used to bigger goats safe from the dog. The goats escaped twice in the process. The barnyard is so muddy there are river tracks all over, especially by the gates. I slipped 4 times tonight.

Nissan got separated from her baby and was calling for her. She is a good mommy. Her little girl was playing with Ginger's babies.

I am tired and sore, I need a shower but hubby is working on the pump.

I think I am going to bed.

No tornado weather here but we did have severe thunderstoms. It is a mess.

The babies like being in the bigger pen and playing with each other. Nissan's girl is pushing around all the boys. I think we are going to name her Crazy Girl.

No new babies.

I am so tired. This weather is just wearing me down.

More rain on Thursday............

Nissan's baby girl is named Nissan's Rusty.

Here she is.

She is a ball of energy. She climbs on everything. Here she is giving her momma some love.

This was just too cute! I had to get a picture of Ginger feeding both her babies.

We had a little issue at feeding time tonight. I have this big pushy doe named Stupid. She shoved her way into the grain feeder and got stuck. I got her out but not before we had a good laugh.

Here is the maternity pen. I threw it together with materials on hand but it is working out well. The babies are getting a chance to interact with big does and the dog can't pester them. It keeps my "could kid at any time" girls safe and warm but they have lots of room to move about. It isn't perfect but it works for now. They have acess to the two kidding pens so they can have a little "me" space if they need it.

Love the pics. Beauiful, Happy goats.

Mud - Ugh - we had snow over the weekend, then tons of rain and now 40 degrees, which means mud, mud, mud.
