I just got a call informing me I am a Grandmother again. Cream, the Nubian that had the breach requiring the vet's assistance last January went to stay with Sherry when I sent her kids away. (Sherry will milk goats and I won't.) She had 3 little ones this time with no problems. Sherry didn't say if she was going to let Cream feed the kids or if she was going to take them to be bottle babies so she can milk Cream again. Since she has another goat who just recently had kids and Sherry is feeding them I suspect Cream will get to keep hers with her.
One of Sherry's billy goats is staying at Mark and John's house performing a "service". He will be dropped of at my house in about 3 weeks. John caught me at a weak moment and said he and Mark would come and band the bucklings and help me get the extras to market so I said I would let the girls have kids again. It probably wasn't very hard on his part to get me to agree because those little kids are just so doggone cute when they are young. They would arrive sometime in June so I wouldn't have to be out in -20 degree cold making sure they won't freeze to death this time.
What a great little community where everybody shares and helps each other out.
