LHF kidding 2012 PHOTOS AFTER THE STORM

[KinderKorner]

Oh no. I wouldn't leave during kidding season either.

But yes, same here. They never do it right. lol

I always worry about a goat getting sick, or a horse getting out.

I always expect at least one animal to die when I leave. It's sad but true. One chicken will get left out, or one chick will get squished or something.

Last time though, everything lived! It was a miracle.

I guess not being able to go places is the sacrifice I made when I got into animals.


The food I listed was just for the goats and horses.

I got through a LOT of chicken food daily too. I'm not sure how much but at least 20 pounds a day. Maybe double that. :/ (It depends who feeds. lol)

Pippi had a set of twin doelings, very big framed, out of Karamba. One is traditional with the dark brown head and the other own is like P79 doe with a grey tan head.

We can't have chickens or any poultry or a parakeet for that matter, My husband works for a large turkey company. First time we went on vacation, we had like 10 goats, this was years ago, we came back after a week, with two dead and one almost dead. It wasn't all the person's fault that was in charge, we were new to goats and didn't understand parasites and what exactly we should be doing. I love leaving my teenagers in charge of the goats, I would be better off to just put out enough water pans and hay for the entire week, they would stand a better chance of not going thirsty and hungry.

I feel like that when I leave my dad in charge! He's awful at it! He waters enough, if not too much and hardly feeds.

Wow I am pretty lucky I keep a typed chores list on the fridge and if for some reason I am unable to do chores I just call my sister or mom and they come grab the list and do the chores just as I would like. They are pretty awesome and most days I would not be able to do it without them. When I was at work I would have my sister check on the does that were due. She had to clean up Joy's buckling when he was born and has been there for almost every birth with me.

I just love looking at your farm. You have some beautiful goats and I wish I lived closer to you. I love your reds they are so striking.

Tina's doelings not quite 24 hours old, they are 75% boer/25 % nubian, I don't have a weight on them yet, but I am guessing 9 to 10 lbs at birth.

Annie's bucklings, The runt is in front, this picture doesn't do a very good job showing how much bigger the darker headed buck is compared to the lighter headed buck with the cape. they are 2 days old.

Darn it girls! Tina's dark headed one is beautiful, and why does that runt's cape have to go down that far! I love ones like that! Alright, I'm selling all my cows and buying all your kids, of course not the ones you plan on keeping! Sound good?
