New goats! Picked up a 4 year old Oberhasli doe and a Nigerian/Boer mix, tri colored doe, who should be about 2 months pregnant to a Nigerian. Of course I NEEDED two more goats

LivinWright Farm and I drove round trip 9 hours to pick up these guys and their new extremely cute Nigerian kids

But we had fun!

Jaqui (from LivinWright Farm) came over yesterday and helped me install a buck pen Right now it's housing Marley and Daisy (from LivinWright Farm) and my own Pygmy, Ruka. Bullet is also temporarily installed there.

Casanova has bred two of the Boer does so far since his arrival on Tuesday. Looks like a couple other does may be coming into heat as well! We should have 3 does kidding in December, one in Jan-Feb, and a few more in March and April Lots of kids! Already have a couple buck kids spoken for, so hopefully at least one or two of the does have a buckling

My DH is coming home this coming week!!! He's been deployed since July, it will be wonderful to have him home again!

Congrats on DH coming home!! I can't imagine going through what military wives have to go through, I am a big baby. Does he get to stay home this time or just home for a while???

Congrats on the new goats too!! They are keepers.

My DH works for Military Sealift Command, he's not in the military but works for them. He's a Chief Engineer on board supply ships.

Daisychick, Normally he's gone for 4-5 months at a time and home for a month in between, but this time he gets almost 2 months off
It is hard, but it makes him coming home like a honeymoon over and over again And who doesn't like that?! LOL
