Well poop. I wanted to bottle raise it.

:/ I have a ewe due the 27th so I can't leave. I'll put her in a flat rate box.


And the darn thing isn't even born yet but I"m making plans.

Well, you *could* load up the ewe and bring her w/ you....jes sayin'....

Orrrr.....bring the kid after the ewe goes.

I don't want much....just for you to do all the traveling...

Mornin'...

I'm drying off does so I got less than a gallon of milk this morning, decided I'd just wait til tomorrow to pasteurize. DH is going to town today to do some stuff at his mom's, and help a friend w/ a broken-down car, so that gets him out of my hair. So far, no new babies....it's about 15 dg out so too cold to do anything outside....hmmm....could it be that I have a 'free' day????

:bun

And then....reality....

Booger, the Newfie, barfed....in 3 places....he's the size of a shetland so when he gets sick, it's no easy mess to clean up. Idiot went out and gorged on fresh snow too fast and upset himself.

Then I got a phone call....can I disbud some Nigerian doelings.

And then....I remembered I needled to candle the eggs in the incubator....

Ellie's sort of acting funny, her udder hasn't bloomed yet, but her tail ligs are pretty mushy and she's dropped, big time....hoping she goes soon.

Lotsa popcorn eaters up in here....

I left her in a kidding stall for tonight, since she's an FF and I don't know her 'signs' yet, and it's COLD.....but her udder isn't tight so I don't expect anything.
She has one more week until the possibility of purebred Nubs are gone...after that they'd be Bullitt or Freeney babies. (I had to put her in w/ both...Freeney was still pretty young so I'm betting IF she goes after next weekend, they'll be Bully Boy's.

I made strawberry dumplings to have w/ ice cream tomorrow. DH's bff is taking us out to eat since I've pretty much cooked every Sunday (with a few Pizza exceptions) since football season started.

We had meatloaf, mashed taters, gravy, and asparagus for dinner...some days I like to cook....cold icky days are usually when that happens.

I got a couple coats of paint on the sign I'm hanging on the buck barn....still trying to decide what to write on it..."The BUCKS stop here" or something...

Candled eggs, NONE were good. Dunno wth is going on, I went from 100% fertility to 0% in a month....????

The dehorning lady keeps putting me off b/c of bad roads.....turns out she shoulda come last week when she cancelled, b/c today they're much worse than they were then.

So now she's supposed be here tomorrow at 10am.
