Got the structure constructed for the run. That was the easy part. It's only as tall as a hog panel so I'm covering the top. The run itself is 4ft wide and 20ft long. I didn't have enough wire to finish the top. So, for now they have access to about half of it. They'll love me bunches when...

Yay for that! I guess my buckling yesterday was technically my first for 2026. I tend to lump the deliveries into a kidding "season" more than separating by year. However, my season will be long this year. I've got two smallish bucks running with all the does, lol. It'll be fun to have...

Awesome! How many babies do you have now? I'm at 11 with 7 boys 4 girls. Should have another wave of deliveries in a few weeks.

Yep, today was demolition day. Tomorrow, if I can move, I'll try to do some construction. Also unloaded 12 bags of feed and moved the new mama and baby. Then came inside, chopped vegetables, peeled and deveined shrimp for dinner. Sitting down with a grown-up beverage to try and relax and...

Absolutely! Poor pitcher, lol. At least you came out of it in better shape than the pitcher did!

Today's chore of choice....uh no...today's pressing chore that I've put off for 18 months was to pull an old fence out of the weeds. This fence was knocked down by Hurricane Beryl almost 18 months ago. I had too many other things to work on to tackle the fence right then. So, it waited...

Yikes! Hope you're ok and that's the one and only for the season!

Woke up this morning with all good intentions. Decided to prioritize the jobs that needed to be done so replacing the freezer gasket rose to the top of the list. Oh my gosh! Youtube made it look so easy. You tube is a liar! The 15 minute job turned into two hours but I persevered. What...

That's pretty much the way it is here too. I'd like my son not to have to deal with this stuff... Plus, it just needs to be done, lol.

I'm not one to make resolutions, but my resolution this year is to make, and keep, at least a couple. DH and I started on a healthier eating style several months ago. My first resolution this year is to continue with our healthy eating plan and for each of us to drop some more excess weight...

Happy New Year to all!!!

Fish fillets and a couple veggies. Still want soup but might be a day or two. Need to use up some do-overs first.

Thanks! I'll sure report on how it goes. I'm adding a bunch of new skills to my resume, lol. Two doelings delivered this afternoon. Count is now 6 bucklings and 4 doelings. I should get a break for a couple weeks now. I do not object!

DH just told me he's got a hankering for some soup too. I'm ok with that!

Two more babies today! Girls this time - bringing the baby count to 6 males 4 females. I should get a gap now before any more little ones. I'm ok with that. Went to the big freezer in the garage last night and found an issue. I've known the gasket was going for awhile now - been...

Baked sweet potato for me. DH is having a snack plate with cheese, crackers and some pickled veggies. What's wrong with us, lol. Actually, we're doing intermittent fasting. We generally eat between noon and 6ish pm. That means breakfast at noon, sometimes we have a snack around 3 and a...

I should be set now! Going outside in a few to go ahead and milk another doe - just for grins. She'll be one of my milkers this year so might as well start now. It won't hurt at all to have some milk in the freezer or to add to the pig feed. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. Weather is sucky...

Boo! I feel your pain. Lotsa wind here...day started with 40+mph gusts, has settle down a little bit. Only 20ish gusts now. Cold, but no rain. Kinda not loving it!

Cheese, crackers, and cherry tomatoes for me. Tuna, cheese and crackers for DH. Didn't feel much like cooking or eating so it was just enough.

This morning I milked the two bigger goats that kidded yesterday. Need to get my stock of colostrum built back up in the freezer. Didn't have anything except some that was a couple years old. Now I'm restocked! I'll keep milking these two gals at least once a day to keep their supply up so...
