I'll put this rant here since it includes pictures of her lard butt in it.

SO we had a nice big round bale dropped of by a friend who was field storing them for me. Thinking the goats may do themselves harm he cut the strings off of it after tossing it in the field. Can I tell you that *I* was about to do the goats some harm when we went from this

they said they would like too see YOU sleeping on the cold hard ground every night. i know the fealing though. before we had the goat pen they lived in the barn all winter and we had ALL (like 60 of them) our bales in there. u know how picky goats our about there hay. i wish i could of gotten pictures as evidence of the mess. i'm betting on twins 2 1/2 weeks from now (i cant remember the date today)

I do beleive we are getting closer to september 15th. Unless I missed an update. HOw are things going?

Still preggo. Her udder was noticeably more filled yesterday but we are scheduled to get side swiped by a hurricane so she may opt for poor timing vs inordinate delay. I believe in these cases the doe code leaves it up to the judgment of the individual doe.


I'm expecting to hear babies right about the time I'm chasing the chicken coop across the yard L.

Update: If she follows the doe code I'm expecting full blown labor any minute as I now have a bra pig to bottle feed.

Bra pig?

 

[SuburbanFarmChic]

She was so small I was keeping her in my bra to keep her warm.

I was looking up breeds of pigs on-line, to try and figure it out.



20 days to go until Sept. 15th.

Hope the hurricane passes you by!
