for the last few days now- Moose has been feeling much better- today she didn't want to have her temp taken and was trying everything she could to get away from me! I think her sister-Monkey was trying to help her too! Temp has been in the normal range and breathing sounds good- unfortunately due to our weather and cold temps they will need to remain in our shop for the rest of our winter season......of course our 1 Angora doe seems put out by that because Moose and Monkey help themselves to her hay rack :lol: and they can eat faster than she can!

Yesterday afternoon our temperature started dropping again.....brrr, so we moved Marsh and Monty back into the shelter with Chester-they are doing okay for the most part but really don't want to be with Chester! This am we were at -6 and only made it to 0 with wind chills around -20 to -25...it will be like this tomorrow...school might be delayed if the wind chills reach -25

Yikes! Wow that's cold. I won't complain (as much) about my 15° and wind chill 0...

Same here--I have tomorrow off but I am betting kids end up with canceled school because of the dangerously cold wind. I am hoping our boer Ruthie holds off at least until Wednesday.

We bred for March/April kiddings just for this reason of cold temps and wind chills. Hope your doe holds off a few days for you!
