Well I seem to not be able to keep up with things at work or things around the farm! Dottie, Ava and Stella are doing well and so are their babies. Lanie, Lacey, Cali and Jetta will be leaving the farm in the next few weeks!
In March Sadie and Daisy kidded for us! Daisy on 3/25 with 2 boys and Sadie on 3/26 with 1 boy. Moms and babies there are doing great as well!
Sadie's baby - Blake
Daisy's Baby - Black Jack
Daisy's Baby - Midnight
We have more goats expecting in April. Misty and Lilly are both first time moms that are due Easter week. My parents will be down that week and they are very excited to experience that with us.
We still have some goats available for sale, Caleb, Cole, Black Jack and Blake.
Chris and I have also been busy with planting! I supported the local 4H and purchased blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and asparagus from them. So far the blueberries are still alive and strawberries are showing signs of re-growth. Not sure yet about the asparagus and the blackberry and raspberry plants look like sticks in the ground! I have not given up on them yet.
I also planted an early crop if cabbage, brussels sprouts, romaine lettuce and tomatoes. Everything was doing great, but then the wind struck. The wind blew open my garden gate and one of my lovely goats wandered in and ate EVERYTHING! I will be on my way to the store to purchase replacements. I have since installed another latch as a backup incase wind strikes again!
The barn building is going great. We have one half of the bottom floor completed. Chris is working to get as much done on the second half as he can. My parents will help us with the barn as well and hopefully we can have the entire bottom story framed in by the time they leave.
