Goat update

I made the strategic error of joining a Texas Dairy Goats page on Facebook. A nice lady in Dripping Springs was liquidating her herd and had two orphan Nubians born in December. They were about two weeks old when I acquired them - bottle kids!!! Four times a day. Fun at first and then you remember WHY bottle kids are stressful.

Luckily, now in April, they are graduating to the adult pen during the day. Betsy, who is Louise's granddaughter, was bred to a Nubian buck and is due to kid the first week of May. Her X-ray shows at least two kids, but she is HUGE. As one of the Homesteading Today members says, she looks like she swallowed an ottoman.
