Mortgage-Hill /BF Homstead

Things here are gearing up for babies! 30 days and counting!!

things here have been slow and i have been taking the time to enjoy things, but as with everything an end is near! the goats will start kidding in Feb, along with the sheep lambing, so there will be cute little babies everywhere!! i can't wait! my daughters have been asking when the babies are coming for about a month now, i wonder if they still will when there is a gazillion mouths to feed milk to!LOL  i have 36 does going to kid, and the sheep i believe 8-9, i am never sure with those, as i pasture bred them, compared to the goats were there is very visiable signs of cycling. but i like surprises, so the sheep have never let me down yet!! the only down side to this is that i can't keep them all!! i even enjoy the all nighters waiting on babies, and the lack of sleep that follows thru out the day and days ahead. call me strange but i wouldn't change it for anything! since we show our goats, there is always the excitment of the first fresheners and how they turn out, and the offspring from  new sires, and how they look. i just wish the weather would break so that it wouldn't be so cold for the new ones!

i thought i would put some pics of her of last years babies! Enjoy! the first pic is of one of our ewe lambs, Names LambChop!

this is Nayla, Nala and Noidzilla above they were just born.
