With the herd back out on the Back Forty, I had to come up with a different plan for June kidding. I don’t have time to track sleeping kids down on twenty acres.
So I put panels across the east side of the barnyard and my four June moms (Cutie, Chiffon, Penelope, and Astra) got to have the front pasture.
I also let Dolly in there so she can still get her sweet feed everyday.
I also brought Flora over because she’s due next, and she’s a first timer. (Oops, I told you I keep interrupting my scheduled posts.)
But I still don’t have enough shelter for the rest of the moms who still need to be brought over.
Luckily, my nephew finally brought the manure spreader (it’s been crazy busy and rainy-we’ve had full on mud making it hard to do anything)!
So, the plan was to quickly clean the building out and move the birds.
That would give the goats enough shelter. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it done before we had another night of rain on Thursday.
I ended up with all the moms and old ladies in the garage and buck room.
Well, except Astra. She was still in the Love Shack. Hey, it was one night, and I still hadn’t started cleaning the bedding out of the garage, so why not.
