So the 2 wethers we kept back went in for processing today. Given that they weren't very big, we will be getting roasts for sure and depending on the amount of trimmings we may get 10 pound of brats made, DS(13) asked if we could try some. I need to take inventory of what we still have on hand in our freezer-last year we just went with ground meat.

Also started round 2 of Christmas cookie making...DS(16) needed 2 dozen cookies for school, he's part of NHS and it was their turn to run concessions for basketball.

that's the same cookie press that I used 40 years ago when DD and I made cookies and same butter cookie recipe. we made those and roll out sugar cookies by the hundreds and painted them with colored powdered sugar frosting, with our fingers of course, lol. oh, the memories that brings back.

New Year's eve brought in a mix of rain/freezing rain and almost 4 inches of snow so snow removal was the way our evening/early morning went.

Several of the does due in April will be kidding close to DS(13)'s birthday so he's got his fingers crossed that a few kids will share his day :)

Wishing everyone the best for the new year! :thumbsup

I love it that you and others here are raising your children with animals. What a great childhood to look back on. Good luck with the kidding and hope your DS gets kids for his birthday!
