Got all the babies tagged today. It rained all day so I didn't get much else done. I feel really tired for not having done much.

Next weekend starts the "she could kid any day now" and it will continue for 6 weeks. again

Thank y'all for the nice comments on my babies. They are precious.

Very pretty babies

Awww, so cute. I like their coloring too.

*Sigh* So Cute! How many more does do you have due yet?

I am still working out a way to get that red buckling in your avatar.... You wouldn't be interested in a mini pig would you?

Can we eat the mini pig?

I am going to put the "maternity ward" back together Thursday. I woud like to do it tonight but hubby isn't back in town until this evening and tomorrow we have some business to take care of.

I was going to wait until this weekend. I knew I had 7 in the will kid sometime between February 7th and April 7th category. I figured I still ahd some time. What are the odds they will go 145 days after the first day with the buck? This morning I checked my sheet and noticed I had the 15th of Spetember written down as "observed mating" for 4 of them. Odds just went up considerably. It was 20 degrees this morning and supposed to continue with low overnight temps for awhile. Days are supposed to be in the 40's.

So lets hope they hold out a few days OK?

I want at least one boy from each of these girls....... Boy-Girls twins will be ideal. These are some of my best does and I want to send some boys to the buck test out of this group.

Light snow this morning but the ground is still not frozen! I had to tromp through snow covered mud to get to the barn.

I put Fat Girl in the kidding pen. Her ligs are pretty soft and I haven't time to get the maternity ward put back together. She had triplets last year and she is huge right now.

Had my meetign for the N KY Goat producers to make some final decisions about our 4-H sale. I have been working hard to get the word out to the 4-H leaders so we have lots of kids show up. Unfortunatly, all but me and one other producer have already sold all of their 4-H kids for the year! I am going to have to hit the phones hard to track down some more producers! Anyone have any kids that will be available in April and wants to come to N KY to our sale?!?!?!

Fat Girl is still Fat. This morning her enormous udder was spilling out from underneath her. Her ligs were soft but not gone. We will see....

Broken Horn had a lot of discharge yesterday but her udder isn't close. She could boom overnight or she may have a few weeks to go.

Little Spot, who I thought wasn't bred and hoped wasn't is growing an udder. I hoped she wasn't bred becasue she was pretty sick a few months ago and is still smaller than I would have liked for a first kidding.

It is supposed to get cold this weekend so I will have to put the bucks back together. I haven't got enough heated buckets so I was breaking ice on Diez's water. With the insulated bucket this works well until it gets below about 15 degrees. This means the last of the does were only in with Bullet for 5 weeks but I think we will be OK.

I need to get some sleep. I have been way too busy this week and I feel like I haven't got anything done. Last night I had a meltdown because I was trying to get the roast in the crockpot for dinner tonight and I had no clean crock, no clean fry pan, no clean knife, no place on the counter free of dirty dishes to put anything and an overflowing trash can.

Need to vaccinate the last of the preggie does......

Is it Friday yet?

Me thinks frozen pizza is a good dinner for Friday night.

 

[Queen Mum]

Really? Frozen? Wouldn't it be better baked?

I had pizza tonight and it was yummy. This was followed by peanuts. Not sure why I like them so much but the peanuts were yummy.

Hope things settle down for you.

I hear you spoke to Delbert. He came over w/ a map the next day, wanting me to show him how to get to your place...I think it broke his heart when I explained I hadn't been there. Then he asked if I'd ride along when he comes to you for does....
Then asked how much I thought you'd charge him if he bought 10. I told him that was wayyy beyond my security clearance, LOL.

He's a nice enough fellow, and that....but I think the trip would drive me insane...and that.
