How about that heading? Warm weather? It is a LOT warmer than it was!
We are cleaning the barn this week. A much neglected part of our farm this season.
I am ignoring the aches and pains, and focusing on how much better it will be once things are back in order and kidding pens are set up.
The boer girls are rather large. Their bellies make me think of weighted down slings, heavy with something. That something would be kids!
The dairy girls seem a bit less pregnant. Some do not look pregnant. They are though.
I have no expected due date calendar this year. I actually had thought of only breeding 1/4 of the herd. But the buck made his mind up for me. So I check the ligaments, watch the behavior, and watch their udders.
I hope to never go without a birthing calendar again.
Never say never? Well, I am definitely going to work on a major separation in boys and girls! Miles apart would be best (but impossible). Until then, in high hopes that it never happens again.
If I seem missing in action…I might be, but rest assured I will be much happier once I see the much improved set up for the girls!

Perhaps some day you can!
That photo is the cutest EVER!!
Hello! The photo is a few years old, one of my favorites. All of the fat little ones were lined up outside.
Those kids are so cute! I know what you’re talking about as far as the males ( of all species) taking over OUR plans. Really though, it means you’re going to have fun being surprised! You just never know when you’ll walk to the barn in the morning and find new babies and then be glad and rejoice for the new life. ( or adventures, if we’re talking about husbands)
Well, Kathy, you said a lot in your statement (buck or man…), ha! Have a wonderful day!
How cute!
Thank you, Amy! I hope you and your family are doing well.
I agree, this is a super cute picture. Good luck with the cleaning. You’re going to feel like a million bucks when you’re done!
Annie-Marie, I already do feel really good about the job, you are right. But it is taking longer than planned. We had quite a number of things go goofy today. It was one of those days where laughter was the best thing to do!
Shame on that onery little buck!
I’ll bet he’s strutting his little macho self about now. LOL
I know I’m a little behind on the posts, so I’m gonna jump to the next one and see how that barn re-do is going.
Yep, he was a busy guy!
