milk has gotten better, so I'm thinking they ate something "bad" when they were free-ranging, guess they won't be allowed anymore yard time. Getting about 2 gallons of milk a day. We've started giving it to the pigs 'cause I can't make cheese fast enough.
Show last Saturday went well. The Judges really seemed to like Zoey, but both judges said she was carrying too much weight. They knew she is due in June, but it's really hard to see her body (and she wasn't shaved) so my brother will be taking her to the State Fair in Dallas at the end of September. Hopefully we will be taking Leah, Chloe and Angie as juniors and Jasmine, Fudge, Zoey, & Masey as seniors.
Working on getting the girls tattooed and registered.
Show was very exciting - it's funny how quickly everything came back to me. It was just like breathing.
Milking 5 goats by hand in the morning is taking some getting used too. I hurt my back a few weeks ago and it's not getting any better, then this morning on the way back to the house with the milk, I tripped in a blasted hole, pulled my back, spilled the milk and broke my good flip flops. Does this make me a "hick" when I break the "good" pair of flips????
Anyhow, then I closed Nic's foot in the car door (he'll be ok) and then when I stopped at the convenience store to get a soda, I left the window down and it decided to rain so I had a wet a** by the time I got to work.
Really gotta do something about my weight. The show just about killed me I think (besides the fact that I was up for 20 hours) and I know that's not helping the back situation, but I'm not sure my scale wants me on it to be able to weigh myself . . .
Gonna try to rest this weekend, but we'll see. We really need to work on the septic tank as it's overflowing AGAIN
Here's Jason
both of us (yes, I'm not in full dress, but I hadn't planned on getting in the ring - I was just helping someone who needed an extra handler) Our friend who took the pics laughed because she said it looked like synchronized goat handling
Nephew graduated Kinder yesterday and the elementary received awards. Nic made the A/B honor roll and Harli received the "Independent Woman" award - her teachers says "Harli does what she wants when she wants to do it!!" I'm only gonna see this in a positive light
Still really haven't come up with any diary room ideas, although at the show we made contact with someone my brother has known for about 20 years. She and her husband own a dairy and she invited us up to see their set up.
My brother did great at the show (even though we couldn't find him white pants, we did find white shorts, which worked in a pinch, but we'll be finding him some pants) - he does have a way with goats.

I was so looking forward to getting her in the ring. I can't register her doe either because her doe's ears are also too big; however, if I breed her doe to a full Lamancha (which I have), if she has does, I could get them papered. Very disappointed - but it's not the end of the world, I guess.
I hate technicalities.
