Winter's Last Hurrah?

Well, hopefully this past week was winter's last blast. Eight inches of snow. It really threw a wrench into the work we are doing to get the farm ready for Spring. Hard to finish putting up a brooder house in 4 inches of mud. Still, the warm weather is on its way and most of the snow has melted. Baby goats are running about and the baby chickens will be here this week.

Goat babies - Quads

What is it with goats that they have to choose the worst weather days to give birth. In a 2 week with 50+ degree temperatures, Selena picks the worst 2 days. The day she gave birth, we also received 6 inches of snow. Temperatures at night dropped to the single digits. But regardless of weather, Selena had a fairly easy time giving birth to 2 boys and 2 girls. Mommy is doing well and the babies are thriving.
