Two more Shetlands ....................


Ousto and her twin ewe lambs, black with white top knots


Little white Angora billy, when ya got an itch, ya just have to do the best ya can.


Bella checking out the little Dorper ram lamb, born Wednesday morning, could not his back legs under him to stand up, brought him in and gave him some powdered colostrum, didn't think he was going to make it, but he is hanging in there and is now able to get up on his own and nurse, still a struggle and he tires out easily, but he is hanging in there.   Red marking paint on his shoulder matches mark on his mama.  


I need to get up early every morning and enjoy the sunrise over the Sierras.


I just heard on the news weather forecast .... 100+ day on it's way, way to early, it's still only April, end of April yes, but way to soon to be that hot.  Hard to believe this year is almost 1/3 over with.

  6. Over the years we've had to bring several goat kids into the house whose back legs weren't working right and bottle feed them. It doesn't always work out for us, but it's a joy when it does. Hoping yours is a success story!
