The girls braved the snow once the weather warmed up to scavenge the last sections of Christmas tree. In the barn they waddle but bring in some food and they get instant spring in their steps!
Except Massey. She was in heat. Again. She is still expressing her distaste over not being bred this year and is hanging out at the boys barn. She had a shoulder injury going into summer that gave her enough of a limp that we decided not to breed her. Now she's fine but I don't want any June babies. She will have to wait until fall for a 'date'.
The babies (who aren't so little anymore) think the tree bits are a game and spent time tossing them in the air and tackling one another to grab a few needles.
Emilene's belly is still growing. She still has 5 weeks to go.
5 weeks! She heard me...and gave me the death stare.
Luci is at her biggest ever too. This pic isn't overly impressive, but from the side her barrel is very deep as well. 3? 4? Again, 5 weeks to go and our winter break is over.
The milk room is finished for now, working on plumbing the washroom now. Wiring more outlets is next, then we move in the stanchions, change the milk tubing and we're ready to go. The next month will fly by, I'm sure, and we will be inundated with baby goats soon enough.
