Last night a first attempt was made at AI with a handful of does- pictured here is my rough field setup. I used CIDRs to synchronize the girls so we could do that handful all at the same time- the results will give me a decent idea of whether all that effort was worth it. Apparently, Brigid removed one of the CIDRs because it was no where to be found when I was pulling them, but at least she waited 10 days to remove it because the doe came into heat with the rest of the synchronized does.

Now we wait 21 days to see if any of them took!

More progress being made on the barn, with concrete under the overhangs poured and curing. These will be loafing areas for the girls and the long span of the overhang means there will be parts of the concrete that get no direct heat during the high summer sun, but the south side will get warmed by the low winter sun.

Kidding season means an abundance of goat milk and sometimes that means it's time to make yogurt and Stirling hopes ever so much for some sort of accident that leads to the entire batch landing in his mouth 😄

Tahiti enjoying a sunny morning over 18 months after she was given a prognosis of maybe two months. We're so grateful to the veterinarians at UC Davis who offered us the chance to laser treat her cancer when it wasn't yet a very common option for goats as her two treatments have turned out to be very effective at giving us more time with our sweet girl. She continues to enjoy being spoiled rotten and we continue to enjoy spoiling her.

The barn isn't finished yet, but the county said as long as they can see all of the metal, it was fine to start putting hay in it. A good amount of the barn design was around being able to get a stack retriever in and out of this barn- our old barn was one inch too short to get a stack retriever in, which meant having stacks delivered in front of the barn, then breaking them down and building them back inside the barn. It turns out that we aren't getting any younger, so this barn needed to be much more functional.

I was holding my breath a little bit when the first retriever showed up because there have been so many unintended consequences along our rebuilding journey that I was worried that I may not have considered something very important. But! It went perfectly! We have five 80 stacks in the barn now with room for more and it is such a joy to walk into a barn that smells like hay for the first time in almost six years. And Fergus has the biggest haystack to play on, which makes him the happiest dog. Huzzah!

That face when suddenly, and very unexpectedly, you exist.

This flashy blue eyed, polled, single doe kid brings our smallest kidding season since 2003 to a conclusion with a total of 28 kids- 16 bucks, 12 does. I hadn't meant to have such a small kidding season, but health issues with our families pulled a good deal of attention from the farm last fall and into spring- I'm not sure that a larger kidding season would have been all that easy to handle. I am planning for this fall already, with high hopes of being able to make sure everyone I want to get settled actually does 😃
