Today would be a great day to be born, it’s nice and sunny!

But Lorelei, if you could hold off until we have the pen ready, that would be great 🙂

Bonjour and Wishes will be going on maternity leave in the next couple of weeks. Bonjour’s last day milking this lactation is March 9, and Wishes’ is the 19th.

Bonjour is already looking pretty wide. Wishes has only had bucks in the past so I am really hoping for a doe this time around.

I am really impressed with how easy Lovis is to milk and how much she’s producing. I was expecting itty bitty teats and maybe a pint of milk (like a badly bred Nigerian dwarf 😆)

Since she just has a single lamb on her I’m milking twice a day to keep up production. She still has colostrum in her milk so everything I’m getting is going in the freezer for future use.

Looking forward to trying sheep’s milk in a few days

Yesterday, 3 hours after I found Lovis with her ram lamb, I went back out to find her with another ewe lamb! The little girl is doing terrific - she’s very bouncy and active and alert. Unfortunately we did lose the ram lamb. You can see in this video he was breathing heavily. He probably inhaled fluid while he was being born and try as I might I couldn’t get it to come up and out. He passed this morning.

Feeling extra grateful for his surprise sister, Ronia.

Treedingeree (say that three times fast 🤪)

She’s one of the three kittens I found dumped in the road. They are all friendly to a fault, and earn their keep catching mice.

She looks so pretty in the snow

Meal prep for tomorrow morning 🤪

New addition!

Diggory is a buck from Whey-To-Go and should produce kids who put plenty of milk in the pail. He’ll be matched up with a good portion of the does next breeding season with plans to retain lots of doe kids

Gumdrop’s last day of work was last Wednesday, now she’s on maternity leave!

Due date of April 11. She’s already looking pretty wide. She’s in my top three for does I’m anxious to see kids from.

Last lactation she was milking 10+ pounds a day. She has an excellent udder structure and I wouldn’t mind having more goats in the herd that milk like she does.

Plus she has fun shaggy pants

11 days to D day for Lorelei…

No udder development yet but she is widening out and starting to actually look pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s only a single in there though.

Last lactation she milked 8 #. She’s not my most friendly doe but goes right to work and is very easy to milk.

She’s been getting some daily attention on the milk stand to get her back into the routine, and some added nutrition to support her during late pregnancy.
