Goat Dating Service

Well, the Canyon Ridge Farm “Goat Dating Service” is officially in full swing!  Two of the boys, Bob and Ed, have been given their own individual bachelor pads, mainly because it is easier for us to move the girls around than it is the boys (and a person doesn’t get quite as fragrant doing it this way).  Woody and Alvin…….well, we still have to move them around each time we need to, but both of them are very easy to handle.  You know what this means don’t you???  We will be having LOTS of babies in March and April.  That seems like a really long time to wait for babies, BUT what we haven’t told you yet is that our younger group of girls have been in with the boys for some time now and if everything goes as planned then we should start having babies in December.  J  We always love baby time, but I notice our daughters begin to hyperventilate each time we talk about kidding (baby) season since they have pretty much taken over the baby raising.  J

 

A couple of weeks ago, one of our babies from last spring, Carly, became kind of sickly acting.  Our daughters told her that since she was such a pain to get to take a bottle when she was a baby that there was no way that they were going to let her die.  They started her on antibiotics AND put her back on a bottle twice a day to make sure that she was getting plenty of nourishment.  Well, Carly had absolutely no problem taking a bottle again and she seems to be doing pretty good at this point……..except that she EXPECTS a bottle every time that she sees someone now.  LOL
