This looks crazy but I am going to try it. One of the girls on Mary Jane's Farm Connection told us about taping her doe's udders so she wouldn't have to separate does and kids. So I am trying it today. If it works, it could be quite pricey. Medical tape isn't cheap. And that's what this is. 2 rolls for about $4.00 at Dollar General.
So this is Abby's udder.
This is Abby looking at me like I am mean to her. How could I do such a thing?
This is Sandy's udder.
And she doesn't care, apparently. Just leave her alone and let her eat, ok?
And this is Iris Josie. She is not impressed at all. She won't even look.
And I couldn't get a picture of the other little doe kid, Brie. She wasn't impressed with all this either. But I bet she'll find a way to those teats. I betcha she will. She's good about getting to her momma like that.
And here are some of the cats, waiting for some milk. Not this morning, guys. Hopefully tonight you'll have some. If the tape isn't pulled off by ornery greedy goat kids anyway. We shall see.

50 Chicks
When I went out to check on the Freedom Ranger chicks, one of them was dead. And it's not the little bittiest one either. I was expecting that little one to be dead any time now but it's hanging on. I'll make it drink some water then put it down in the feed so it can eat. I'll also try to warm it up. It's wings are just about bigger than the body. I hope it makes it.
Seeds!
Look at all these seed packages! My friend"s husband works at Tractor Supply and they were going to throw all these seeds out. So he got them. Now Isabelle is going to let the teens at church sell them for .25 each to raise money. There is everything from beets to zucchini in there. I will have fun looking to see what I can plant right now and save some for next year too.
