February 2010

Winter drags on. The vet came out to check on the goats and to see if she could tell if they're pregnant. Short of taking them in for an ultrasound, it's kind of like a box of "Cracker Jacks". Is there a prize in that box or not? Have they been overfed (they're obviously larger) or will there be kids next month? Just a few of the questions asked by new goat herders. Being an optimist, I'm gathering up supplies for my "kidding kit" and reviewing the goat kidding videos at Fiasco Farms. I can't say enough kind things about Molly's very extensive collection of goat information.
