Didn't anticipate 400 pages of posts when I started the journal. Hope it's provided adequate entertainment value for those who've participated

I’ve officially read your journal! Whew!
So, since CC and CB are with RJ, it’s safe to assume you’ll have 5 Does kidding this year?
I really like Mel and his antics. Queenie loves to come in and make her rounds but hasn’t seemed bothered by the weather. I look forward to seeing what happens when he gets a girlfriend.
I think your goats might benefit from a double stalled run-in shed (lean-to) if your barn is going to be too far off, especially with kidding coming and Bang’s mean streak.
Good luck on your pig adventures. We enjoy most of our pigs. Some stay more standoffish, but most learn to enjoy scratches and the treats/scraps/etc that we bring to them.
I also wondered about finding someone to hay some of your ground (at least until you get it fenced) on shares instead of you spending all that time mowing it. They would get like 60-70% and you would get 30-40% based on the agreement. That would definitely cut down on your hay costs but you’d need somewhere to store it...
Looking forward to staying up to date!

I guess not being able to work has some advantages

We did hay shares on our place last year but now that I have it all cross fenced that won't happen anymore. It works out good for everyone as long as fences aren't in the way.

we did hay on shares here too and not only did db cut, bale and store it in his barn but he also delivered it. win/win for me.
as I caught up with you I saw where you asked about april. she is 3/4 lamancha and 1/4 combo of kiko, boer and Nubian so her kids would be 7/8 lamancha. her mom was a big ole' gal who milked not quite 2 gal as a 4 year old.
I would appreciate it if youall would send some of your rain up here. it is still so dry here that our water resource lake is tasting funky and if we don't get our spring rains we're going to go on water rationing. not a good thing for sure
