January 13, 2015.... Kinders Calling....

Well now the Holidays are over just like that.. Although on Thanks Giving I never put Hazel in with Wyatte for a second round. She took and is preg.,. Little Amy went into heat and could hardly hear a peep out of her. I've decided to wait a while on her. We're finally getting the weather that is normal for this part of the Country,, I know I asked for it but it doesn't mean I have to like it.! Christmas and New Years came and went with out a hitch. New Years day was the twins 1 year birthdate ( Suzzy & Wyatte ). I can't believe I'm out in -15 weather and singing happy birthday to my goats. And you know what's worse ?? I'm actually getting use to the cold, never in a million years would I have though that I would stand outside and say ( its not to bad ) at 10" degrees. I must be sick or something.!!??
As for the crew, I was really worried for them when those temps really got down there. Was thinking of my mothers brick warmers, like they did in the days when staying warm was sleeping with bricks. Was going to do that for the goats and chickens but put my faith in mother nature in stead. Of course lots of hay and water, helped also, in the (am.) I heard the crowing of the Rooster and knew all was fine. The goats have bails of straw in their houses, some together ( in witch they like to lay on ), and a few that is scattered around ( that they use as a jungle gym ). SO I'm not going to worry so much any more.

Living in Vermont... um I would think you'd be reeeeeallly use to cold by now!
We had some really cold temps for here and it was GREAT! The reason it was great was because all the mud FROZE!

It was so nice not sloshing around and slip sliding in it. Warmer temps are here and yep... mud too!

Glad the breeding took! Babies coming soon... well kinda soon.

Ha-Ha-Ha.!!! When I was younger ya.!!! But now that I'm older I just don't care for the cold, anything below 45' is to cold as far as I'm concerned, but now I'm not thinking of the cold so much as I do about my animals being in it.!!
In the morning when I get up even my 2 German shepherds and 12 year old cat knows that the out side animals come first. I have my coffee brewing while I'm out taking care of them. Then and only then can I enjoy my coffee. I've never had out side animals be for, and it will probably take a few years to loosen up a little on worrying about them in the cold, I just keep telling my self that there are animals out in it 24/7, and survive with a hole lot less then what my babies have. As a matter of fact 3 weeks ago there was 3 white tailed does at the brook behind my property when I went out one AM. to care for every one. Yep.!! in the City. Of course I'm like 2 blocks from wide open fields.
I'll have to get some pics. of my two preg. mommas soon.

I grew up in Phoenix, used to freeze to death if it got below 50 degrees. Yesterday I was out in 30 degrees without a coat saying- wow, it really warmed up (it was -29 on Friday morning.)

I hate the cold too.

March 11, 2015..... Kinders Calling...

After a long cold, hard winter, the thaw is on........ And I'm so glad that every one of my goats and chickens pulled threw very well, and with good spirits and health. Just thought I'd put up some pictures.

Where ever Wyatte goes Othello goes. The pics. were of the boys man cave. And a pic. just to show how close to the rail yard we are. None of my animals are bothered by any of the noises,bangs, booms or horns. Not even my hens, its a constant in their lives.
Love my Jed

More of Jed and my fluffy Wyatte,

Going to have fun brushing Wyatte out

Now I'll get some shots of my preg. momma Suzzy...

 

[kinder]

Don't know what I did wrong but I didn't mean for Suzzy's butt to be above the brushing Wyatte statement.
Now let me see if I can get Hazel my other prego. momma on here.

Because Suzzy is more wide I do believe she may be having twins, the poppa is Jed and he has already been a first time poppa with twins last year. Suzzy's 145 is March 20 and I've had the Vet. give her, her CD/T this past Saturday. She said Suzzy was just right for her size ( weight wise ). So glad to hear that.!!
Hazel's is the same time next mo. The Vet will return April 4th to give the CD/T to her. At the same time we'll do fecal tests for worms on every one and the Vet will disbud Suzzy;s babby/ies. Hazel is carrying hers more under her, not so big in the sides.. I'm pretty sure she'll have a single kid. At least now I know that Wyatte is fertile.
