I've got to milk when I get home. John volunteered to feed the other critters if I do the goats. Deal!

Oh wait. It's still raining. Guess I'll be getting soaked! We sprung a leak in the section of the barn we milk in.

We made it home about an hour ago, give or take. Took a few candid 'cell phone' pictures of the girls settling in and went around to do the evening's chores.

John is wore flat out. He's got a splitting migraine and is passed out on the couch.

If you ask me, seeing over 100 goats in person and realizing that one day we would be at that level is what gave him that migraine. He didn't have it before we got there. o_O

Edited to add: They're doing their QT in the kidding pen, as I currently don't have another dry spot to put them. Onyx got the boot and is back out with the herd.

Thanks again y'all!

I still can't believe they're here.

We're really excited about the possibilities this brings us! June had been in the pen with Banjo for 45 days. I'm going to assume she's pregnant until blood tests tell me otherwise.

I can't sleep. Still wound up from the trip. The breeder was very nice and knowledgable, and was happy to hear I planned on continuing their careers in the ring.

I'll be seeing her next month with two of my "best" juniors in tow at WTFAR. Compared to hers though, :ep:hu:hide. My girls seem so small in comparison to Briar, she's only a month older too.:hu

Haven't put them side by side yet.

I really need to sleep. Tomorrow is an early one.
