nothing exciting or new, the barn yard is a swamp, It just keeps raining and raining, I am also out of straw, but can't get time on the weekend to go get any, and we are having problems with our lights on our trailer.

Hot mamma is looking juicy, and we put her in her own pen last night, because the big does are staying in the barn all day, trying to stay out of the mud. It is making it harder on the smaller does. Normally they would get the barn to themselves during the day, while the big does go sun bath.

Otherwise, we are still working on trying to get the hoof trimming done on everyone, So we can start all over in a month or so. And we haven't gotten everyone copper bolused yet.

Oh, it is official, I am positive I have two yearlings bred to kid in April, and Daisy still hasn't showed any signs of coming back into heat so hopefully she is due in May, but no clear signs yet that she is for sure bred.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and hope everyone that lives in the storm areas, are staying safe.

Gee, and here in Canada, at least the part I'm in (Nova Scotia) we're having one of the mildest winters ever. Have only had a few snowstorms, only had the driveway plowed twice, and very little shoveling otherwise. I'm hoping for really bad weather next week cause I'm going to Jamaica with the whole family and it's always nice o enjoy the sunshine and hot beach when you know it's cold at home. Since moving here to the Annapolis valley I have been so lucky to find someone who will deliver hay and straw, I just call him up and within a day or so, sometimes the same day, there he is. Of course, I'm only talking four goats, so don't go through nearly as much as some of you. Cheers.

Cindy, are you mocking us? :p
Well, I wasn't thinking of it as mocking exactly, :), just commiserating with you all on your yucky weather. Not often we are better off and can brag on it.

classy Lady is still left to kid, She looks like she should be full-blood, but she is registered 75%, Daisy is full-blood and hopefully due in May.

Hot Mamma rejected her 2nd born, and we put her on a bottle, First bottle baby I have had in at least 3 or 4 years. But what are you going to do. Not looking forward to getting up at 2am. We went ahead and took her right away from Hot Mamma, we are worried she will injure her, she wont let her near the other doeling or herself.
