New goats! Picked up a 4 year old Oberhasli doe and a Nigerian/Boer mix, tri colored doe, who should be about 2 months pregnant to a Nigerian. Of course I NEEDED two more goats

Jaqui (from LivinWright Farm) came over yesterday and helped me install a buck pen :) Right now it's housing Marley and Daisy (from LivinWright Farm) and my own Pygmy, Ruka. Bullet is also temporarily installed there.

Casanova has bred two of the Boer does so far since his arrival on Tuesday. Looks like a couple other does may be coming into heat as well! We should have 3 does kidding in December, one in Jan-Feb, and a few more in March and April :pop Lots of kids! Already have a couple buck kids spoken for, so hopefully at least one or two of the does have a buckling ;)

My DH is coming home this coming week!!! :woot :weee :woot :weee He's been deployed since July, it will be wonderful to have him home again! :love

:yuckyuck :gig

My DH works for Military Sealift Command, he's not in the military but works for them. He's a Chief Engineer on board supply ships.

Daisychick, Normally he's gone for 4-5 months at a time and home for a month in between, but this time he gets almost 2 months off :weee
It is hard, but it makes him coming home like a honeymoon over and over again :clap And who doesn't like that?! LOL
