10 days to kids!!

   I can't believe we are this close to bottle baby goats.  I have alot left to do in the barn to get ready.  I need to get the milk barn ready too.  I have everything I need but just haven't gotten it all together and set up.  I need to finish the baby pen, get the heat lamp up and ready to go and put in clean straw.  Have to pick up the alfalfa hay for the big girls, to make the milk sweet.  I'm a little worried that the weather is changing this weekend, we are expecting snow on Monday.  This could mean babies sooner.  I'm not ready yet!!  Berry's sides were in today, does that mean babies in the birth canal??  I hope not.  I have been off on the dates, right Linda!!  LOL 

I am excited that Megan may have healthy babies this year.  For the past two years she has lost her kids.  Megan has had a problem with going into Goat Polio.  I have to give her a shot and that leads to deformed babies.  This year she hasn't had to have a shot so, maybe, she will have healthy kids this year. 

A little worried about Sweet Pea.  She is so small and young.  I hope things go well for her.  She is part of the line that I really like.  They are good milkers and have great bags. 

Berry's is baging up.  She is getting close and I hope she waits for me to finish getting the barn ready.  The thing about babies they don't wait on anyone!!!! 

I am using new nipples this year, can't wait to see how they work.  Instead of wine bottles I'm going to use beer bottles.  They are smaller and easier to carry and clean. 

Thinking about getting a buck.  Not sure will have to wait and see.  Having my own billy saves having to take the girls some place or bringing someone else's billy here. 

It's time to go out and check the barn.
