Depending on how my dad's doctor appointments go this week and the information we are given- we might start separating the bigger bucklings out at night and start milking 2 of the does in the morning.....

We have to do weights too.
I don't want to think about it.
We have to do the whole herd.
Very hard to weigh the Kikos. Even with the livestock scale they always get one foot off or don't want to walk up from the field.

I'm thinking you have waaaay more goats then us , even though we doubled our herd this year

Taking advantage of the nice, dry weather we are having today(suppose to rain again later this afternoon/evening ) to clean pens- finished both sides of the goat shelter, finished the last pen in the chicken coop, moved some chicks around to give them more room.....

still on my list for today is cleaning out our 2nd goat area and all the rabbits in the shop and a bunch of other things to do .......and of course its starting to cloud up

taking a break as the home health nurse is here to see my dad.....

13 more days of school for my kids and then they are off for the summer I love having my kids around- they are very good helpers!!

You are on a roll! I haven't gotten a thing done that needs to be for spring cleaning or anything other than the goat pen... but that is what matters most right?

Tearing down cages will be last priority due to fencing. It snowed at my house today

Ummmm.... WHY? do you live there?

 

[Hens and Roos]

Got most of the area clean before getting rained out- just have the rabbits to clean

I don't know about @Samantha drawz but my DH is a snow freak from Dec-March and then he's sick of the snow!!

Here are a couple of pictures I took:

Basil- she will come over and start chewing on our pants! She is Coco's doeling and we will be keeping her. She is the scrappiest little one!

Here are Charlie(front) and Aiden(back)- this buckling is so like my youngest-always into something!!
