Just got caught up, what a bunch of beautiful babies! Congrats on all the kids. I always look forward to lambing and am glad when the ewes are all done.
Did the chipped teeth get fixed? My son has bonded front teeth, they work just fine. My daughter shot him in the face with a BB gun when she was 6, he was 10. They lied to me for years about that incident because big brother didn't want his little sister to get a whipping. LOL

Not yet on the chipped tooth, after consult with the dentist, DS's nerve was still very tender and so we needed to give it another few weeks. I have to call in for an appointment.
Your kids were lucky on the BB gun accident!!

All the goats/kids are back together as of last night...lots of head butting by the adults and lots of yelling by the kids going on 
but all has pretty much settled down as of this evening.
DD planted the garden yesterday with some help from DS(17) and myself while DH was cleaning out the goat shelter.

Just started looking into the possibility of a different milker for our goats. We at most milk 4-5 goats so don't need an large one. Any suggestions/recommendations for us to look into?

Since we started milking we are averaging 2 gallon of milk a day with 3 of the does being milked twice a day and the 2 does being milk once per day! We are kind of swimming in milk to say the least! We have been processing milk just about every day and are starting to make some cheese again. Our Mozzarella batch didn't come out to good but the chickens are happy so we'll get more eggs 
All the bucklings are weaned now and have adjusted well to not being with their dams...now they yell for us instead! Several are still standoffish but not too bad, given a little more time they will probably get better.
Of course nothing is without challenges
...yesterday DH ended up going to urgent care to have his knee looked at...as he was walking up a set of stairs he heard/felt his knee pop and then pain. DD was with him so he did have help. Of course he needed to finish the job he was working on to restore water to the building before going so by the time he got to urgent care his knee was swollen...they took x-rays but could determine if he has a meniscus tear or an ACL tear. Has to stay off his feet as much as possible and to get an appointment ASAP this next week to see Orthopedics.....
We will be having on the job training as we have several rental units to get ready and since its his right knee he will be chauffeured(DD and DS(17) will be learning to drive the truck)….
off to get chores done
