Wow, there is so much to say with the latest events over the past few weeks since the last post. Forgive me, dear readers (hello? anyone?), but let me indulge you in the latest from Spring Mill.

The goat kids are growing like weeds. I weighed them the other night, they average around 30 pounds, just over one month old. Fred and Bogart (Memphis’ kids) are the biggest, and the youngest.

Abba and Memphis were bred October 23, 2009. As of today, the yearling does have been pregnant roughly 117 days (16.5 weeks). Xenia is approximately one month behind the yearlings. We are barely a month out from their expected due dates! This means it’s time to do some preventative management. The care of pregnant goats [...]
