Goats, goats and more goats!

It has been a very busy week. The pygmy goats are starting to have babies and it gets crazy when several are kidding at once. One mother had triplets and another mother's baby died. That mother stole 2 babies from the triplet group! All are doing well so we left it like they wanted it. No one seems too upset. They are soooo tiny and all girls. Right now there are about 9 new babies.

The goat bithing video is on facebook. Check it out on Country Dreams Farm and become a fan while you're at it.

Day on the Farm

Today and this weekend were very busy. We had many of our friends came over to visit and enjoy the weather. We moved some horses and donkeys to different pastures. Everyone that got moved got wormed. Even wormed and trimmed the hooves of some of the goats.

Today George trimmed Pete(draft horse) and he also got wormed. That would be Pete and NOT George!

We put some compost around the barn and seeded it. Hopefully it will grow.

Beautiful Day on the Farm

Today was a beautiful day!! We worked in the barn putting up harness hooks and taking the harnesses out of the rented trailer. Hopefully we can get that out of the yard pretty soon.

The Porter's stopped over to visit today. Hope their camera didn't go into overload with all the pictures of Breeze and goats!

Our neighbor, Ben, stopped over today. He is working out of town so we don't see him too often anymore. He's the guy who started working for us when he was quite young and got hit in the head with a bale of hay. It doesn't seem to have had any long lasting effects on him. He still thinks farming is in his blood. Better keep his day job though.

Saturday we are headed to an auction in North Lawrence and to visit some friends in the area. The weather is going to be great!
