We appreciate the rain too!!! Praying it snows in the hills so we get more snow pack as that is what fills our reservoirs.
Rosie was really bent out of shape tonight that the new goats are in HER chicken house eating HER food! She thinks that she rightfully commandeered it and since she was penned up there for the last few weeks recovering from the attack with her roommate Pearl, she should have squatters rights! 
Too bad for her, I am bigger, bossier and have fingers that can open and close the locks on the gate and she cant!

So we weighed the kid today....4 times (cause I didn't believe it!!!) ....he is 5 weeks old and 38 lbs! 
I don't think we should have any trouble reaching 60 lbs by June!!!
He is already the size of our smaller nigerians!!! It is dark when I leave and dark when I get home so no pics yet... I think he looks like a limousine... long and low.

That is a good size buckling, glad you found one as there seems to be a shortage around me too. But really, you had to bring home the dam too? You are such an addict... I thought you weren't going to get anymore goats. I should have some mini alpines here soon...just sayin' you need some of those too.

These 2 are DS 4h project. If he can show her in the breeders class great. If not he can sell her or take the guy up on his offer for a free breeding back to the other buck.
The one I am trying not to get is a beautiful dappled nubian/boer cross....
The shortage is due to folks cutting herds for the water shortage and the resulting feed cost. I am (knock on wood) still paying $13 a bale for alfalfa and it is still good stuff, but usually by now we are in the $18-19 a bale crummy last cutting, or shipped in from other states.

I pay about the same for alfalfa but I buy 1400 lb bales and it comes out to about 12-13 for 100 lbs. People in other states would mug us for those prices.

So apparently the limosines new name is Robert Elliot Orwell Speedwagon! REO Speedwagon.... Hope he never has to try and and learn to spell his own name .... I guess he could just sing it.
So I picked up my kid from his internship the other night and he comes out in shorts.
It has been freezing out so I ask, just out of curiosity, why the guy is freezing instead of wearing weather appropriate attire. (Sometimes my kids just prefer to look like homeless orphans so I am expecting any sort of answer, really.) He says that his pants are too tight. Too tight!
He had mentioned, only about 3 days prior mind you, that his pants were getting snug. He weighed in at a whopping 180 when we were weighing the baby goat the other day. And he works out at school. So I get that he needs new clothes. But he failed to mention the critical fact that he was unable to breath, bend or otherwise move like a human being in his current pants, to the point that he opted for 'freeze your arse off' wear rather than wear pants!
We managed to find him 3 pairs of slacks and 2 workout pants at Goodwill and another pair of slacks and 2 pair of jeans from Wallymart before the night was out. He has been told to gather his other pants to donate to Goodwill so that another unsuspecting mother will have good cheap options when she goes to pick her kid up in the freezing cold and finds him in shorts cause his pants are too small!
