Well, I am taking off 1/2 day tomorrow. Dr. Sarah is coming. Horses need their annual shots and the goat kids are going to get disbudded and tattoed. Then I am going to do some much needed yard work. Our oldest finished his freshman year of college today and is bring a group of this college friends home for the weekend to visit the goats.

Late breaking, exciting news. My wife, went to the barn on her own and by herself. She walked through the barn and into the field to get to the babies and ended up spending time with all of the goats. There is hope.

And of course, there are always baby goat pics.

And not to leave mom out. She is a great mom, has a beautiful udder. I milked a small amout out. Her teats are perfect, the milk flowed easily. I thinking milking her will be awesome. I sure hope we like it. Or course, my mother-in-law wants to make soap, a co-worker wants to make cheese. I need more goats. :D

I totally know how you feel. We needed to go somewhere the other day, and I asked DH to help me do chores before we left. I told him he could do something easy like feed the rabbits or chickens. He fed the chickens, gave hay to the sheep/goats, and then pulled a bunch of grass/greens for the pig AND socialized with them all. It was so nice. :love

Dr. Sarah came. She disbudded them and tattoed them. They are back to running around with mom in the yard. She mildly sedates them for the process and then very quickly revives them. No screaming or kicking. They know have silver heads and green ears. But they are done. Next step is to fill out the registration papers.
