I can’t believe we’re already at the end of the week. It goes so fast when I’m home kidding.
It will be weird going to work after a two weeks. I’ll wish I were still home. Just saying.

In 2020, I lost way too many goats. Last year, I only lost four. This year could be another rough one between age and copper.
I have already shared that I’m still not certain Flower will make it through the winter.
Coral and Victoria both went in for a bit of extra care this winter. They are holding their own, but they have both dropped weight. I do hope they can recover. Spring might be a great help for these two; spring will be a big help for most of them.
I also have several others that I’m not sure will be with me through the year. Reva dropped a lot of weight last fall; copper helped, and she’s holding her own. But she has bad feet that I think was caused by the copper deficiency. I’m trying to help her, but I’m not sure how long I can keep her comfortable and happy.
Joani really has started dropping weight also, but she’s hanging in there.
Hilda is starting to show her age. She is the oldest girl I bred, and this will be her last time.
Bambi is the same age as Flower, but she’s still looking pretty good. But when you’re twelve, you’re on the list of possibles.
Same with Dolly. She looks great for her age. Actually, she looks great for any age. But she is going to be fourteen in June.
Myson is also showing his age. He’s had a couple of episodes where he may have had bladder stones but got them passed. I hope he hangs in there.
I just have so many old goats, and the copper is still an issue. I’m not sure some of my old ones will ever get caught up. I just hope the young ones continue to improve.
