We are keeping the doeling. I would like to have 6 milking does. I wish we could keep them all! The boys would make great cart goats! And my 9 yo wants a pony and cart BAD! But we just do not have enough room on our little piece of property. I would love to keep Amber's little buckling to...
I don't think it would bother me if my DH was on here. I would rather he read it himself rather than looking over my shoulder while I am typing....that bothers me. But I don't think I talk about him much so no worries there. He does not really like to type so I am not sure that he would post...
TWINS!!! My other goat, Amber had TWINS this evening!! A boy and a girl! I thought her due date was August 6th. So far the babies seem to be very strong and they do not seem to be as premature as the other set. They are red with like black highlights at the tips of their hair. It was to...
I smell the mineral spirits in the Fels as well. We do not use it as a body wash...only DH does for poison ivy when necessary. We mix Ivory bars, Fels, and baking soda for our laundry detergent.
I will be on the look out for the ZOTE bars though!!
I have been given food that I do not normally use. Some of it is just stuff we have never tried or do not know how to prepare but I do keep some of it around just in case we do HAVE to HAVE it! But we eat what we store and store what we eat. There is no wiggle room in the budget for stuff we...
We lost one of our baby goats today. He stopped eating on Saturday and just went down hill from there. I took him over to a friend's house on Monday evening to see if she could help him because she is more experienced with goats than I am and she also tried all she could but he passed away...
Today's blog post recommendation: Gifts in a Jar!
Update on the baby goats: One of the baby goats has not been doing well since Saturday. Not doing well at all. Last night a friend of mine who is WAY more experienced in goats than I am took him and is trying all that she can to help him...
My Patriot Supply is now carrying a Victorio Strainer!!
This is one of my most favorite canning items! I can not imagine canning with out it! I use it for making spaghetti sauce, apple sauce, grape juice, tomato juice, and anything else I can think to put through it!! It cuts hours of time...
We gave her a shower with the hose today and scrubbed her all down and she looks healthy again! She just needs a little more weight on her and then she will look like her pre pregnancy self! She is eating lots of grass but is still not eating her grain. But at least she shows some interest in...
My friend that went with us Friday night got some quail and she has chased them so many times it is ridiculous! They found some kind of whole in their nursery box/cage and was getting out as fast she was catching them and putting them back in! She got like 9 or 10 and she is down to 3 or 4...
Thanks Becca! I was totally thrilled to find and catch the rabbit!
Lily seems to be doing much better today! The baby goaties are doing good! They are pooping and peeing machines! So I am hoping that means they are getting enough to eat.
