Nissan and her baby makes me smile.

Right after I snapped that picture Rusty lifted her little hoof and put it on Nissan's nose. It was so cute. I also caught her up on that hay rack with both her front hooves on Nissan's back. She is so much fun! Look at hre hindquarters, nice and solid like her daddy's. She is longer than that picture shows. Her hind legs were scooted up a bit. It is hard to take pictures of her, she never holds still.

All the babies discovered the warming barrel last night and were snuggled in it this morning. Doeling's ligaments are getting softer, she could go soon. Cleo looks like she will pop any day but I can't check her lig's without chasing her and I don't want to stress her right now.

I am almost positive both of Ginger's boys are polled. They are 8 days old and I feel no horn buds.

Looking forward to seeing more babies on your farm. Even if they are all muddy.

I swore I wouldn't complain about the rain, After having to feed hay almost all year in 2010, and now the drought in Texas, I try to appreciate the mud, but it isn't easy.

I talked to a gentlemen in Indiana who has goats and cattle, and he said it has been a real problem for them feeding their cattle, with the mud and the ground not being frozen. They feed Fodder right on the ground, but with all the mud it has been a problem.

as far as slipping and falling, I ended up flat on my back 3 or so weeks ago, Pouring rain, I was covered in pieces of hay, and then my entire back side covered in mud. I can appreciate what you are going through, slipping around trying to do all the chores. I keep trying to remind myself that it is good exercise.


Waiting for more of your babies.

No new babies.
Rusty was using her momma as a trampoline this morning. Nissan was just siting there chewign her cud and ignoring it. That little girl is a bundle of energy.

The first thing I do when I get up and go and check on my babies.
The first thing I do when I come home from work I go and check on my babies.
The last thing I do before I go to bed I go and check on my babies.

Hubby asked if I wanted him to set up a web cam. DO I? YES YES YES YES.......... oh wait. Nevermind, if you do that, I will get fired.

No new babies. More rain. I feel a migraine coming on. I am at work and I hope to head it off.

Nissan is such a good momma. Last night all of the babies were playing king of the hill and Nissan was the hill. Even the ones that are not hers were climbing all over her and she just lay there and let them. She would sniff at them all and nuzzle with them. I have only seen her nursing her own but from her behavior she may be one of those goats that will take care of any baby, hers or otherwise. Ginger is very protective of her babies and keeps the other goats away from them, except Nissan. Ginger leaves her babies with Nissan to babysit.

Hopefully we will get some sunshine this weekend and I can let them out to play.

Nissan sounds like a great mommy and babysitter. Her little girl has such a sweet face. Rusty is a keeper at your place right?
