Goats, turkey and a cat

Our kidding season is over and we ended up with just two little doelings.  Not sure what happened with Mary and Rosie but God knows what we can handle and for some reason this year was supposed to be lighter on the milking side.  Here are a few updated pictures -

Mama Martha

It takes forever for goats to be born!  Rebekah waited pretty patiently!

They're here!  Luke waited most of the day in the barn with Martha so he got the honor of naming them - Rachel and Leah.  Rachel has a black nose and dark tail and Leah has a pink nose and all white tail.  I'm glad for the distinction b/c I have trouble keeping everyone straight.

Their cozy bedroom within their pen.  They eventually got too big for it and were spending more time on top than in it!

Laura snuggling Rachel - note the black nose and dark spot on her tail.  Grandma Rosie (who ended up not being pregnant) is in the background.

This is little Leah - her nose is pink and tail all white.

Rachel is queen of the woodpile

Can she bake a cherry pie?  Yes - and don't mess with Abbie.  Speaking of Abbie -

Her dad took her out on Youth Mentor Day and for the second year in a row, she got a nice sized gobbler!

It was about as big as she is!

 

 

 

Does anyone want a cat?  Mr. Blizzard showed up uninvited and decided to stay.  He has one blue eye and one yellow eye and not much human interaction prior to visiting us.  He's happy to eat the other cats' food though.  Seriously, if anyone would like a cat, please let us know.

 

 

 

 

That's whats been happening in our neck of the woods.  Thanks for stopping by!
