We got an Easter surprise! Truffle (angora goat) was due on the 23rd but looked suspicious this morning so I tossed her in the feed room while I went to my parents' house for Easter dinner. Came home to a pair of nice warm and dry goat kids all snuggled into the hay. The silver brown is a doe, the regular brown is a buck
And yes, we had delicious home grown leg of lamb for dinner!
The first of the stragglers, Mimosa, lambed yesterday. Ran out to the barn before going to a shearing job several hours away and there was a ewe lamb all clean and dry and full. Good job Mimosa! She was on her last chance after not settling twice so I'm glad she shaped up and is being a good mama. The lamb is super cute as well.
Main batch of lambs are a month old now. At this point I'm probably keeping Kiwi, Clem's and Daisy's girls. Things might change as horns continue to grow in but I'm hoping to sell most of this year's lambs at AGM in July.
