HEY. I have some pictures!

This is a baby goat born yesterday named Rhonda.  She's cute.


Here is Vicky holding Mel's (the Queen goat) two little does Lele and Harmony.

Here is Hummingbird fixing up the pens so the mamas and the babies can have their own little space until it's time to move them out.  They generally stay in for a week or so, I believe.

Here is Hummingbird with goat babies crawling all over him.  Isn't that adorable?  I love it.  In the next pen over is Penelope.  She still has afterbirth hanging out of her, which I saw/heard her eat and yes it was pretty gross, but I supposed I'll be getting really used to it.  Penelope had 2 bucks and 1 doe.  The doe is all the way to the left in the pen and I named her Honey Bee.  Isn't she cute?

 

Here is Vicky feeding Spot's newborns.  Spot cannot nurse her triplets because she has a virus called CAE.  It's kind of like goat HIV.  Humans can't get it, but it can be passed onto the babies, so we bottle feed them with a milk and colostrum combo from Queen Mel.

I get to feed them tooooo.  :]



Here is some wool that HB is dying for a tunic he's going to weave.  We get to learn how to weave on giant looms here, too!

Here is the wool that I spun myself!  I'm knitting my first hat ever with it.  I may or may not dye it.  It's so pretty white, but it could be purple...  It's all tangled and messed up right here, but Lindsay fixed it for me shortly after I took this picture.  So just imagine that it looks nice.
