Kitsara - Life, the Universe and Whatnot

Holiday meals are coming to an end and we'll be heading back out to the farm soon. Back to playing with the rest of the goats, and back to no internet unless heading into our nearby town. Heh. It's been fun though and Spike has been amusing.... Killian watches as Spike discovers gravity, for the umpteenth millionth time.

Well January was a really hectic month in a lot of ways. Cold weather, wet weather. Chiweenie puppies sent out. But all in all it wasn't too bad. Then in comes February, Son has basketball games and a dance, I'm back and forth from town and home trying to keep an eye on Skittles who was looking to pop any day. Well, sometime on my way to pick up my son from the dance, and t's snowing the slow going, she decides to give birth. Alas, I get back home, it's almost 1 am and I find her looking flatter and no kids around. I look inside the shed. Two dead babies that look like they got trampled. Devastating. They were still a little warm too but quickly cooling. Both were little bucklings and fairly cute looking. I really need to talk with Domino, all these buck kids are not good for increasing the herd. Now all that's left is little Storm, and she still has some time to go before she even shows if she's pregnant.

I am so sorry. This weather has been devastating to kidding season. My condolences.

Thank you. Even though they were bucks and I couldn't keep them anyways, it's still disappointing.

I had a couple of tentative nibbles on someone buying my other little bucklings, but alas, it keeps falling through. May have goat in the freezer next winter.
