Extraordinary day
« on: December 31, 2013, 09:28:51 pm »
I had seven goats when I got up this morning, tonight I have twelve!
Goosepimple and Daisy's mum will be pleased to hear that Attica is definatly virile!
How unusual is this though? My pygmy goatling, who had been running with my billy on and off since May and came into season like clockwork up until a week ago, had a beautiful kid this morning! While I was away getting a new infra red bulb my other goatling, who I thought was in kid, gave birth to twins. During all this I had a phone call out of the blue and to help someone in a dire situation adopted two more pygmy goats!
My head is in a bit off a spin....I don't think I need to have a drink tonight!
Happy New Year to everyone and wishing good health and happiness to all two legged and four.
Jacob sheep, Shetland cows, Pygmy goats, Chinese geese, Khaki Campbell ducks.

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

That's a good start to the year. Now is your resolution to keep the numbers the same or to increase even more?
