RPC~ Picture of our 4-H wether

Yup, I read all the journals also. I don't comment very often, because I ramble on so much on my own journal that I run out of things to say.

If you read mine, you would see that I even actually copied your lead and posted my kids weights and weight gains a couple times and then stopped for the same reason you did. Figured nobody but me cared. Guess we should just keep posting cause obviously it seems like they do care.

Wow everyone thank you I will keep posting. Mamaboid you have to keep updating pictures of that NN because I am interested to see what it will look like when it is big. It is so ugly it is almost cute. I read everyone's when I have time and try to make a comment here and there. So I guess we are all the same.

Well today is the day, well most likely I have to go check the dirt lot and see if it is a mud lot. All the big girls will move to my dads. It will be really weird only having kids to take care of everyday. But that will mean Porsche and Jagger will get a bigger area. Right now my plan is to have 2 pens. 1 will have Cindy, Storm, Jagger, and Porsche. Those kids will keep getting the calf manna along with their normal pellets and the 2 will get their bottles. Then pen 2 will have Marsha, Jan, Bonequiqui, Caliber, and Cookie Dough. Our 3rd pen with the field attached will only have kids in it during the day. We do not have an LGD let alone a dog and we are in coyote country. So I try to keep the kids as close to the barn at night as possible. Starting tomorrow I am going to move Porsche and Jagger up to 18 oz. bottle each. Jager I think just drinks slower and at first I took that as he was not really hungry but once i started giving him extra time her was finishing the bottles. Porsche would like to finish her bottle without taking a breathe. I have them both at 17 oz. and they have been fine for 2 days with that. Well I need to get ready and go get the truck and trailer and get these girls moving but first I will check the field.

Have a great Saturday.

I read it too. I read all the journals (and it's not because I'm a mod either). You'll find that people will comment when they feel drawn to do so. It still amazes me that people are reading my journal. Keep posting.

It's because we love you Em We are all kind of a family when you are happy we are and when you are POed we are too. This is how I feel about my BYH family

Well the does get to stay another day. Their lot where the shed is at is pretty soft. I got all the gates put up and ready for them but I will wait till atleast tomorrow if not a couple more days. So far since yesterday we have gotten 2 and 3/10ths inches of rain. We kind of needed it and it will soak right up but I don't want them to get covered in mud right away when they can stay here and be clean.

I'm really done with the rain already Seems like we just start to dry out and we get some more rain.

I don't know about all of you but my FAVORITE summer food is chicken salad. With all this nice weather we have been having I was craving some chicken salad so I made some today. Turns out buying the chicken already cooked from the deli is cheaper then buying a frozen uncooked one. So I got that, some light mayo (not miracal whip), grapes, and walnuts and 20 minutes later I had some awesome chicken salad.

My absolute favorite! And I make it similarly too. Sometimes I add shredded carrot to the chicken salad too. Pile it on some nice crusty bread with some tomato and lettuce...yum!

Yep...you made me hungry too

Well today has not been super eventful. Did chores this morning then went up to the hospital for a PFT. My mom wanted to check my lung capacity and make sure the chemical's at my job and my 7 years of smoking have not messed my lungs up to much. I was in the good/normal range so all is well for that. I have been eating that chicken salad all day today, it is so good. We banded Storm yesterday and he is still off, laying around not really eating and his pee just dribbles out. I have given him some probios since he is a little stressed, and some aspirin for the pain and swelling. I hope it helps because he is such a happy goat normally. When I left the barn he was up and eating so that is a huge plus.

I never really had a good picture of Sky for the website and Kerigan wanted to take more pictures for her scrapbook which is one of her 4-H projects. I think Sky is one of our best does as far as show quality but she does not make much milk. She had a single buckling this year and I had to supplement him. I am hoping for a doe kid next year and then we may sell her.

This is Kerigan and Caliber. Don't mind our barn its 111 years old and the goats have messed it up pretty bad.

This is C'arra's goat Cookie Dough but Kerigan wanted a picture of the 3 of them.

Kerigan and C'arra think I look like a dork but if anyone wants to know what I look like here is me, Porsche, and Jager.
