New Kids!

[Meaghan]

I'm getting so excited for Sunday! I can't wait!

We finally got their pen set up tonight. Been so busy with the fence for the pasture that it got put off.

I have a question! It occurred to me that it does freeze at night here, but the garage doesn't get particularly cold (rarely below 50, never below 45) but will the kids need a heating lamp at all? Or am I just being a worried new mommy who doesn't want her kids out in the cold without a jacket?

they will be fine.

So I should stop panicking when, exactly?

Two days!

I may as well tell you ... the worrying and panicking has just started you are now on the wonderful road to craziness.It is a goatowners side effect. AND it's too late there is no help for this problem AND it is a vicious cycle because you will become addicted to goats and need more which will cause an increase in worry and panic.
Notice the word need... truth is you really will not need more you will want more but this too will be twisted into a denial and you will believe it is a need.
You will turn to us here on BYH and we will pretend to support and help you but in the end we will enable you and tell you YES you NEED more goats.

The countdown to your sanity has begun! 2 days left!

Enablers, the lot of you!!!

.... Nathan was already asking what sort of goats we're getting next year ("more Nubians? or what?" "No, a few Boers and maybe a Nigerian Dwarf or two!").

probably never based on some of the other threads I've read and I have all this to look forward to...

Just wait, you'll be hooked too!

@Hens and Roos you have finally accepted this... I am proud of you!

we already are! We have 1 ND doeling and keeping our fingers crossed that by mid- April we will have our 2nd ND(provided the doe we put a deposit on has at least 1 doeling) doeling. We're trying to keep it to 2!

@Hens and Roos you have finally accepted this... I am proud of you!

but I am still aiming to keep the number at 2 .(that's where DH comes in!)

I don't think it matters what type of animals one has- there is always concern for them- even when we hatch out eggs
