Wow! Sounds like some exciting things going on for everyone! I especially like Crickets "not working this summer". I am excited for you. And all of the new animals, and gardening. Sounds like a great time will be had by all.

I'm picking up two new angora goat does in a couple of weeks who are hopefully a couple months bred. A red and a chocolate who will hopefully be having little red curly babies soon :clap

I can't wait for lambing/kidding in general but I'm really looking forward to seeing what those new ladies produce.

Well I have my first lambs due in 40 days, so I guess that's what I'm most excited about :D

:D Thank you! I'm excited too but am really excited for weaning. I hope Mo produces good stock and passes all his good stuff on. I'm very interested in Moses/Arianna kids. If there is a PB buck that shows me something and really impresses me then I'm keeping him. May do the same with a doe but would have to be really good. I'm so excited. :D

I am hoping to get the fodder room going in the next couple weeks. I will be thankful to be able to produce more and get what I have out of the shower!

2 of my kids are thinking of getting lambs to take to fair - Working on it!

I am also hoping to add turkeys to our animal mix.
