The kidding is over except for 4 does that are spread out over the next two months! There are 17 kids. I've lost two, they just died for some reason. I don't see anything at all wrong with them..The first one died at 2 days old. He actually did look like something internal was going on. He didn't move quite right, and he looked a bit different. The second one was 14 days old and seemingly in perfect health. He was playing around and doing fine that morning when I fed. Then I went to town, came home, went out to feed and here he was dead. Not a hair out of place on him. Thankfully both were boys and not the girls. There were 12 boys and only 6 girls born this year, so far. The rest of them seem to be doing quite well.
Arianna had triplets this year! I'm having to give the little girl a bottle in the morning, she just isn't quite getting enough milk on her own, her two brothers push her away. Arianna is not the best mom in the world, either. She's making plenty of milk, she just is mostly rejecting little Ruthie. She won't let her drink by herself, and she only lets the boys drink for a few seconds.
I've gone and done it. I joined Facebook again, after a few years of not being on there. Now I'm trying to figure it all out, like how to join groups, etc. I've clicked two of the "join group" buttons, but I'm still in the pending mode on them. I have a business page, Pine Needle Farm Cashmeres and Mountainside Needle Felting, but I don't know if that page shows up on my personal page? That's why I joined, to promote my business. If you'd like to friend me, that would be great.
We woke up to three inches of snow, but it melted fast once the sun shone this afternoon. The kids weren't too happy this morning. They are not big fans of snow, it's cold and wet. ☺ There were lots of baby yells out in the goat pens this morning.
Happy Spring....
