That's the 100something odd boards we got from DH's work, 97 2x4x16 and 40some 2x6x16....they have built all of our stalls so far and we have enough left for about 3 more stalls. We also used the 2x4's to lay over the tops of all the stalls and store our hay on top of the stalls, we have around 300 bales stored on top of the stalls.

I did include a new picture of Rosie about a week ago on my journal page but I will add it here too

@Bruce Rosie is actually ment to guard the poultry, she is only with the sheep atm because we had to put the lambs and momma's some place.
I hope that you have plenty of air circulation bettween the hay bales -- what you describe is a well known recipe for spontanious cumbustion for the hay.

You are incorrect. Spontaneous combustion is caused from hay that is baled with to much moisture in it not from simply stacking hay the way it should be stacked. If just stacking it made it combust every barn and hay storage in the world would burn down. We stack our hay the same way hay has been stacked since it started being made into square bales, we do not bale high moisture hay and would salt the hay if there was a concern.

Yesterday while we were at work Phoebe finally had her kids.

She gave us a set of twins and one is a girl!! :weee:weee:weee:woot
Ironically the girl is being more active then the boy even though she is a bit smaller, both appear healthy and well fed. They were completely dry when i found them after work despite it raining for the past 2 days here.
The girl- her right hind leg is completely white, I'm happy she isnt completely solid color.

The Boy - he has some really neat markings

While checking on phoebe's kids i noticed cassiopia was in light labor. So i was out tin the shop playing with rosie and decided i better head in, as i walked passed the shed i heard the first cry of a new goat kid. Cassiopia had a single male kid around 11pm.
Here is the best picture i could get, she wouldnt stop licking him. He is all black with a white blaze, i made sure he nursed and was walking before i left them. DH checked this morning and he is doing good.

The polypay also looked like she may have been in early labor yesterday....or playing tricks on us. No new lambs this morning.

Congrats on the beautiful kids, glad you got a doeling out of the bunch! Just name the boys Dinner. LOL

Either dinner or for sale. I am very excited about the doeling esp from Phoebe I have been waiting for almost 4 yrs for her to have a doe.

Still waiting on Ivy to kid, her udder is over half built so it shouldn't be terribly long.
