The bad babies.
This evening it stopped raining long enough for the goats to come to the milk room to eat. And it gave the bad babies enough time to slip out the back fence to the "jungle" for some free time alone. I had to go look for them when I realized they weren't back at the barn with the others. So here they are, coming back to the barn. Brie is on the left and Iris on the right. They are such bad girls!
Don't they look like bad girls?
Here we go again!
But this time there are tornado watches all around. My friend's weather warning thing went off a few times already this morning. We are flooded again. I have to cross a creek again to get to the goat barn. Just another crazy January day here on the farm. It pours rain then stops. It's SO HOT and I have windows open. I am sweating.
And I am having to go out to the barn to check on Abby. I do believe the old girl is in ketosis. I was thinking she was in labor. But no kids or even any real sign of kidding. So I read about ketosis and it's her. So I am drenching her with all kinds of good things and giving her B Complex shots and lots of warm molasses water. Even put lavender EO all over the stall to calm her. I sure hope she pulls through this. She did this last year too. She'll be 11 in a few weeks. So I don't think she'll be doing this again, if she makes it. I'll do all I can for her though. She's my favorite doe, even though she's the biggest bully. I do love her.
There goes some thunder. And it's very dark.
