Nice Evening To Watch The Goats Free Range...

It was a pretty nice evening here so after dinner I decided to sit outside and let the goat girls and kids free range in the main yard.  I decided to tie Tulip and Star to the ropes so I wouldnt have to chase them out of the neighbors yard... as long as they stay in the yard so do all the kids.  Dont worry I did not leave them unsupervised, thats not safe and every so often I would have to go untangle one of their legs. One of these days the plan is to fence off this side of the yard so the goats can munch in it safely and I can sit there and enjoy them, instead of chasing them keeping them in the yard from time to time.  

Why Ooo Why...  does the grass taste better in my neighbors yard??? lol

I took Cash out to hang with the rest of the herd, hes back in t he house with me right now... actually hes asleep on the couch right next to me all wrapped up in a blanket.

...Cash...

I thought Cash was doin better and put him back with the herd, hes not... Hes not gettin enough milk from his momma, his sister and brother drink it all and he gets left out.  So I'm bottle feeding him. 

I think this is too cute

 Tulip is due March 23 (day 150) ... 

Tulip was bred to Ringo.  They only had 1 date.

Nubian Twin Bucklings...

As I went to the neighbors yesterday mornin to milk I found out one of his pregnant does had 2 bucklings earlier that mornin. One was all dry, walkin around, doin great... strong lil boy. The other hadnt been born long, still wet, cold, momma doe was layin half way on him, I though he was dead. I picked him up, sent my son back home to get a baby bottle cause I knew the lil guy needed some colostrum or he wasnt gonna make it. So I'm milked some out of her & fed it to him, stayed 2.5 hours over there, mommas was bonding great with the strong one, alittle with the weak one after 10 hours my neighbor & I knew it would be best if I brought him home & to give me some good ol TLC. So thats what I've been doin. Hes doin ok, still weak, but eatin 1-2 oz about every 3 hours, using the bathroom, he'll stand up if I stand him up, he is raising his head up on his own & this mornin he did try to walk alittle, hes wobbles alot. I think hes gonna make it.

Look at that beautiful stand of the strong buckling

My new lil bottle baby :)

*** The plan is for me to get him goin, then give him back.
