LHF kidding 2012 PHOTOS AFTER THE STORM

[20kidsonhill]

Oh you silly goats. We had back ups all prepared last year for when the big moment arrived for Daisy. Of course, she waited until hubby and my dad were at work and my mom left for her four day trip to Mexico. Totally convinced she knew somehow.

It is Friday, I am thinking, "wait until tonight to go into labor, the weekend, or how about during the 6 inches of snow we are suppose to get on Sunday.

Please go into labor today, while I am trapped in the house, husband is on his way to his scheduled IV appointment at the hospital, that he can't miss and makes him feel like crud afterwards, Grandfather(family vet) at his part-time job, all the older kids in school.

Sorry, No she didn't kid. She is acting very normal, I checked her ligs and they are solid, we talked about inducing her, but she is eating and acting fine. We are worried about inducing her too soon if my due date is wrong. So I guess we decided to just wait it out

Thanks for asking.

No new kids.
No one looks close.

According to my due dates Classy Lady should also be due Wednesday.

all the kids are doing well.

We have 6 inches of snow in the forcast for Sunday, Probably get a couple inches of slushy mess.

I will get a photo of her for you guys today. Her back end is a mess. and I have a ton of work to do, since I wont beable to get out and do some of our chores in the snow tomorrow.

We need to go to lowes and get lumber for a project my husband is working on. He is making show boxes for the fair.
When we get the lumber we are dropping it off at our friends house, who has a workshop and he also has a big pile of wood for us to use in our fireplace, so we are going to load a 16 foot trailer with split wood, Sounds like work to me.
We want to start trimming all the goats feet, I want to get 5 or 6 done today and start doing copper boluses.
couple loads of laundry, it is suppose to be in the 50's today. We line dry all our close.
clean the concrete area where the kids ride bikes, it is gross.
pick up the dog poop and the yard, This young dog we have, Bella tears up any piece of cardboard she can find.

Better stop typing, already 9am. although I did morning barn chores, I am not getting going too fast this morning. felt good to sleep until 7:30.

It's a day like that for me too. Slept in a little, started running the laundry. Cleaned up the kitchen. I poop scooped the yard yesterday. Small yard, 3 big dogs. Ugh. Aside from running a load of junk to goodwill I think most of my chores will keep me house bound. In-laws coming for dinner so it's cleanin time!

nothing new, We trimmed 9 of the does feet, and started copper bolusing. The does sure love those boluses.

We learned that we aren't trimming soon enough, this wet weather is making a lot of work for us. We are going to try to get through the entire herd in the next two weeks, and start again 2 weeks after that. A couple of them were in pretty bad shape.

We have snow, It is pretty.

Maybe I can get some pictures of some of the kids playing out in the snow. Not sure how warm it is suppose to get in the morning, if the snow will last for the day or melt right away. We are only suppose to get an inch or two, They were calling for 5 inches.


We checked the teats on the last couple sets of kids, and frustration has set in. Both of Macy's kids are incorrect teated and are being sold as terminal for 4H shows or for meat. I think Our son might pick the male to show. Hope it goes better with the next ones that kid.

I can't really tell who is next, Although Peaches has really loose ligaments, but she doesn't have much of a bag yet, at least it isn't plumping up yet. She has a pretty big belly, for sure carrying two kids.


Peaches, is out of Nibbles and is 75% boer/25% Nubian.

We got a little snow, but the kids are hanging in the barn more than anything. It didn't help with the photo shot, but here are a few pictures that I got.


Just inside the barn door, taking advantage of the sunshine.

Indie's doe not afraid to get outside.

Nova's doe, my favorite so far. She is 88% boer 12% nubian. I am really excited about adding this doe to our herd.
