Good to see you back, Marm. It’s been a long time.
Your goat adventures sound interesting, if not sad because of the loss of the mothers. Is that a frequent occurance with goats? (If so, I might change my plans on getting some and making goat cheese....)
Please thank you son for his service for me. Is he still in the Marines or did he get out?
I guess it’s becoming quite common for pygmy goats to have c-sections. As they breed them to be small, some have trouble delivering their kids. We didn’t realize this when we decided to get them. On the other hand, the fainting goat had no trouble. We are sticking with them for raising more goats and will probably just keep our other 2 as pets.
Our son is out now, just recently moved to MT. He’s been talking of moving there since he was a kid and finally got the opportunity after finding out massive layoffs were coming at his former job. We drove out to help him move - what beautiful country.
I knew when I started this thread that I would be pushed for time, with all my other farm sites as well as the real world work that needs to be done around here.
The good news: I will also now be blogging for Mother Earth News.
The bad news: I won't have much extra time at all.
I will try to keep popping over to post things, and it would be so great if a few of you would take the handles of this thread so it doesn't die.
