Socrates makes the dying cat call every now and again. Scared the snot out of me the first time. Goats are just so Dramatic about everything.

I've never played golf. Hubby won't trust me with a club.

TGIF only one more day to go then I get to sleep and do nothing....That's what I thought until I realized it was mothers day. So no break this week. Luckily for me the kids are all busy tomorrow so I don't have to go to the goat meeting. But I still have the wedding. My 2 younger sisters are at Purdue this weekend and the one said she forgot about mothers day so I have to go shopping for her tomorrow on top of my never ending list of things to do.

Well have a GREAT weekend everyone.....Happy Mother's day to all the moms on here.

Well I am staying a busy bee. Last week was a crazy week and this one is looking to be close to it. We baled another field of hay last night then unloaded 2 wagons in the hay mow. Tonight we have to bale another one but I might have to call my cousin and just the 2 of us get it done. We have turned into hay making fools around here. We plan to do more fields all next week. It is nice to get it all in early before we normally get to start but I have so many other unfinished projects lol. I am cleaning out one of the goat pens also in my spare time. I need to trim all 16 goats hooves, I want to weigh all the kids this weekend to see how they are growing. Oh and I got myself a digital platform scale. It was free which is the best part. I need to get a rubber mat so they don't slip around on the platform. Calibers goiter is almost completely gone and is now just some loose skin so I am glad it was just the calf manna and not something else causing it. Well have a good week everyone.

DUDE, get / find / aquire another scale for me, PUH-lease?

Also....any chance of getting any of that hay delivered an hr. North.

With or w/out chicken salad? My hay guy isn't cutting or answering his phone, and I'm getting very nervous....

Well delivering it 1 hour north will not help you at all since you are 1 hour south of me Kim LOL I understand it was still early for you. As far as delivery I am not sure about that I would have to talk to my dad. I am not quite sure this is hay you want. It is grass hay and maybe a little more of cattle hay then goat hay. My kids are super picky and they really are picking threw this stuff. But if it is something to get you by till you get some then it might work. We should be baling another 2-3 fields this weekend. I can not believe we have 4 fields done about 1 week before we normally start.

If I find another scale I will let you know. This one has a very small platform and is only big enough for kids (maybe 2 feet by 2 feet) which stinks but it is better then nothing. I had to try it out tonight so I weighed Porsche and Jager. I need to get a mat for it because it is just steel and they are sliding all over it, so they didn't want to stay on it.

At 2 months to the day Porsche is 32 pounds 6 oz. and Jager is 2 months and 5 days old and he weighs 41 pounds 2 oz. They are not as big as most of my dam raised kids but I think for getting bottle fed Vit. D milk they have done pretty well. Jager has some weird hair. His under coat is reddish brown but the tips are black and so that's what shows more but I will be interested to see if he changes color at all. Porsche is all black no matter what. Which is opposite of what I would expect since Porsche's dam was red (Levi) and Jager's dam (Austin) was black. Jager's sire is a dapple (Freeney) and Porsche's sire is a black headed traditional (Saturday). Well Tomorrow is my birthday but I am so busy tomorrow I will be celebrating it Friday.
