RPC~ Picture of our 4-H wether

[RPC]

Well I have a portable long feed trough that I was going to use for the kids but they have been climbing in it, pooping in it, and so on so I had to figure something else out. This is what I came up with. I put a gate in there and attached the feeders to that. Then made sure they were high enough so they would have to stretch to eat so their back legs and backs build muscle. I can also adjust the height as they grow. Then I put a 6x6 down and some cinder blocks as steps. Well here it is!

From left to right incase anyone is wondering who is who. Marsha, Caliber, Cookie Dough, Bonequiqui, and Jan. Sorry the picture quality sucks it was off my blackberry.

Thanks I hope it works out as well as I think it will.

What a great idea! Looks like it's working.

Thanks they seem to be doing ok with the feeders. They are also crying less today for their moms. In the past to wean the kids I have loaded all the does up and take them to my dads for the summer but it is too wet right now so I just have them in the next pen over. I figured there would be alot more screaming but there is not. 2 or so more weeks and I will be weaning the other 2 kids. It should be fun.

nice feeder, your babies don't look like babies any more

Well My morning started a little rough. I have been sick but that was not even the bad part. My warehouse boss was being a baby and went to the woman that runs my company and told her I was not doing my job so I was called in for a meeting. I left pretty discouraged and finally after an hour I marched my butt right back up to her office and told her it was a bunch of crap. He is being a baby and I will not beat myself up for something so dumb. I also then asked how my grandma was doing since she was rushed to the hospital yesterday....Oh yea forgot to tell you The lady that runs the company I work for is my step mom. Who tells someones mom that they are doing a poor job. Get real. She agreed with me that he was acting like a baby and told me not to worry about it. She had already realized in that hour that some of the things he was complaining about were his fault, and caught him making the same mistakes. So when I got home from work and getting my hair cut I let the babies out to run around and that's when my phone went off with a facebook message. It was Kim my new baby was born. I am soooo excited. So even on a crappy day I still got some good news. Levi must have known. LOL.

So glad you are getting the black doeling you've been waiting for! Congrats!

Thank you so much. I am not going to lie asking for a solid black doeling out of a solid red doe and black headed buck I thought was a long shot. I am so glad it came true. I am already planning her and Calibers kids. Poor thing is not even 24 hours old and I am planning her kids LOL.

All I'm sayin' is....I'm not quite sure it's fair that *I* feed and care for these ungrateful wretches and YOU get the kid you want.

No fair, no fair, NO FAIR.

But, I'm glad we made your day better.

Soooooo....when you comin' for her ?
