I imagine if you have a lot of bottle babies they won't get as much private attention as just one or two would. Maybe they won't be so "demanding" as your prior BBs.

Nope. They'll still attack.

I have raised roughly 30 a time.
Not a big difference between 3 and 30 kids.... they are still little monsters.

@OneFineAcre looks like Dh will just be picking something up... no time. Maybe next meeting I'll make my new recipe. ;)


Well... we still aren't done.
We are scratching Jane- she has injured her shoulder. Gave Banamine- will keep vet posted. :(
We have the baby goats to tattoo still- that should be fun- and GREEN!
Still have a few more heads to trim up.
No udders are shaved- good luck to @Goat Whisperer because she will have to do this at the show :p

My lil DD's project is still not done. :hit

Laundry to do and ironing show whites. :hit

I'm in need of a nap! :th:th:th

The people that bought one of the Nigies called and want to get the mini mancha- I think I mentioned this already. I was pretty undecided but I think I will go ahead and place her with them. They are great people and she will have a great life.

All goats leaving will have to wait- with fair and recuperation I need a break.
Have to schedule vet appt for HC for those going out of state. Hoping to do these all at the same time instead of trip after trip after trip.

Funny but in some ways the larger groups end up getting more attention. When we kid 10 does out at a time those kids require a lot because there are alot- and it's fun... the goats that kid at oddball times or later in the season still get lots of attention but probably not as long (timewise) during the day.

Bottle babies love ALL people! Doesn't matter who it is. They will attack anyone and everyone
Well then @babsbag is screwed! I guess she'll have to get someone else to feed them ;) Or maybe a nice automated milking machine, only it works in reverse.

Hoping to leave around 10:30 am

We'll see.

Want to get the pens scrubbed and disinfected without feeling the evening rush.
