@AmberLops, Congrats on all the new babes! It would be exciting for me, know it is for you. How nice that they all had them in one day. Not how goats do it! Not sure I'd want the job of collecting the fur. When my minis shed each spring, the show stock had to be brushed & groomed a lot. What a mess!!! Sorta "haired" me out.
AND Bay, it's still too hot for those sweaters in TX!
I KNOW!! Was not nice. BUT today was vitamins turned to spiked seltzers & popcorn. Yeah, I can make an entire move theater happy! My chicken nugget breakfast was from yesterdays, demo. 
Gosh, I like that thinking! Does that count when breeding happens that I didn't plan & the animals broke a fence??? Alllllright, alright, alright!

They can't do that to you! You've already planned what to eat based on the expected job
I KNOW!!

Thanks for the coffee. I woke up around 2:30 and last time I looked at the clock it was 4:37. 
I hate it when I do that. Then I slept late until 7:30. Thank you for the coffee. I poured a cup then let the dog out, she goes home today. We have been babysitting our DD and family's pup this week, a Blue Heeler and Australian Shepherd 7 month old named Pepper. She has been having a blast here on the farm. She is smart and learns quick. We have enjoyed keeping her, just another grandkid. LOL

Coffee is on, it's pouring down rain with thunder/lightning and it looks like midnight out there!
The thunder kept me up all night...can't sleep through that! This storm is supposed to last just 2 more hours
@Baymule the offer is sincere! I would be happy to...when I have enough fiber I will pm you about sizing

morning all there hot tea and banana muffins, bacon and eggs are just about ready. how is everyone this morning?
some how one of the baby bunnies well more like teenager got out of its cage and i thinking the dog caught it last night. i could not find it any where yesterday so we lot yet another bunny i am still cant figure out how it got out of the rabbit cage. oh well, thankfully it wasnt one of the ones i planned on breeding it was a little doe that i couldnt breed because her brothers are my new bucks. they are unrelated to my last two does we have. i am kinda tired of rabbits to be honest between heat and dogs we lots quite a few. mostly due to stay dogs people dump on or near our property. next year i am hoping to have a barn set up with a place just for the rabbits but until then it is what it is. we are so close to having all the t-post in for the new field i am so excited about not having to buy hay. I am going to be clipping chickens wings tonight.... i am tired of them flying over there fence and going into my garden and eating my vegetables.
amber i am glad your rabbits are being good mothers thats is awesome when they behave themselves.
i have a question for yall i been debating about the pigs next year. i want to get them and i still will but should i just get feeder pigs or should i get a breeding trio? i am debating on this because of my kids. I currently have a six year old, a three year old, a one year old and will have a newborn in December. i so i am concern about my kids getting near a boar or a sow with piglets i do plan on having the far from the house so there is that and the kids unless they go out into the field which is unlikely to happen since the yard we have is fence and they know to stay in it(grandpa drives tractors and runs into vehicles and fences so they know its not safe out side the yard unless we are with them_) i plan to have the pigs a the front of the two acres with the bucks since i be getting a docile breed however if i just get feeders they will have a separate yard all together. and more then likely i will have a separate area for the pigs anyways for breeding time and birthing time so i might just end up with a separate yard and then allow them in the field with the goats when needed.
