Latest Happenings on the Farm
We had twin goats born today, a boy and a girl! We didn’t weigh these but they say they normally weigh about 7lbs at birth. They’re able to walk too. So far, the kids are doing well.
We’re so green at this that we just keep our fingers crossed from one day to the next hoping we do everything right.
Oh, one more little fact about mama goats. They eat the afterbirth shortly after it’s expelled. I found that to be interesting and thought you might too Homeschoolers are interested in all kinds of weird things, right?

Oh how I remember my first goats when I was 71/2. I helped make their pen out of pallets. I watched them being born and then I bottle fed them. I LOVED it. Until… they were made into Ben and Becky burritos. Some of my fondest memories were milkin' goats at freezing 5am before going to school. I miss those times – however scattered.
Audrey is so adorable!!! She's 'bout the same size as the goat. I love it!
