RPC~ Picture of our 4-H wether

[RPC]

First off his goiter looks worse because she has the chain right behind it and is pulling up so it makes it stick out worse. I really hope it will go away and be just fine. I know the girls just look so thrilled in these pictures. You sure can tell they are city girls with their clothing choices. For weigh-in today Kerigan brought that yellow tank top and WHITE capri's. I told her she had to wear the black pants. They sure do make me laugh and I love them to death but sometimes I don't know if they understand that this is a dirty job sometimes.

Everyone looks good! Cindy is way too cute! Your nieces look like they love it too.

Cindy was being horrible today. Well actually all the triplets were like crazy wild goats today. I dont know what got into them but they did not want to be anywhere near the kids. These pictures took forever to get. I just wish Cindy would grow faster. She is about 35 pounds and her biggest sister (Marsha) is 58. I think the kids did have atleast a little fun. I love the picture of Bonequiqui, he is such a butterball. That boy is so fat it is not funny. I think he will be taken off hay except for a handful a week before the fair. He has the biggest belly out of the 3 bigger boys. Porsche is still my favorite kid and Cashmere is my favorite adult.

Pearce - I would add 1/4 cup to his grain ration daily. If he seems to need more than add some more.

RPC - I guess you will find out if the calf manna is doing this to your little guy. I haven't had any problems with calf manna either but I don't feed a lot when I use it. You get to be the one who lets us know of your experience. Lucky you!

Thanks to you both.

Well it was a nice day here. Goats are all happy and eating grass. We also got some more hay baled. this was a smaller 4-5 acre field and we got 127 bales. I love this weather for baling hay.

I have a crazy busy week. I am working my full time job 8-430 Monday-friday this week, along with working at my friends restaurant Mon, Wed, and Fri. 5-8pm. I have a fairgrounds board meeting tonight at 730, and our 4-H plant sale Thursday I have to work 6-8 pm. Then Saturday we have a goat workshop 9-1, it is so long because we also have to set up for our open ABGA and ADGA goat shows on May 19th and 20th. Then I have a wedding that night also. I can not wait till Sunday to relax LOL. I am also really excited for the 17th because that's my birthday and the 19th because that's the ABGA show and there are some awesome farms that come and show at our open show. I am not showing anything but Davidson boer goats and 2M boers should be there most likely since they have been in the past. I really like their goats.

*update* It has been 5 days since Caliber has eaten any Calf Manna and his goiter has shrunk. It may not be scientific but I would say that was the problem. It is not gone yet but it is getting smaller by the day. That was a huge weight lifted of my shoulders. Well have a great week everyone.

You forgot the "deliver Kim some more chicken salad" part of your schedule.

Might ought to fix that.

Well got home from work a little bit ago. While I was making the kids bottles I could hear a dyeing cat on the porch. I thought for sure it had been hit by a car and made it to our porch. So as I cautiously opened the door to see how bad it was I couldn't find it. What I did find was little Porsche still in her pen screaming as loud and as high pitched as she could for me to hurry up with her bottle. She does not make this sound alot it is only when she is super hungry. I thought it was funny and hurried right along. I am so tired and I still have 3 days of business. Well I got a sad e-mail today. The person running the ABGA has stepped out of the goat club and there is not not going to be an ABGA goat show on the 19th. I am so upset, I was really looking forward to it.

RTG- I actually love playing golf, I am horrible and it normally consists of me and 7 other guys, 2 cases of beer, and totaled golf carts. But we always enjoy ourselves LOL I only get to go a few times a year but they are fun. I also end up being DD normally because I don't drink beer.

Kim- Next time I make a trip down there or you come up here I will make you some more chicken salad. I love that stuff!!!

SmallFarmGirl- Thank you for the early birthday wish that was really nice of you. My only plan is I took that friday off and me and some friends are taking their kids and my nephew to the zoo then going to lunch. That's my only plan as of now.
