Update...
OK...the brown Mama "Luna" has way way too much milk...and she tends to get to the point where she won't let the babies nurse...and tonight when we went to the barn for evening chores...there was Luna...with way way too much milk...and 3 babies who she was not letting nurse...so ... milking a nanny goat whose udder is sooooo full...and touching the ground...yea right...milking is gonna be great fun....NOT...but we managed to milk over a gallon from her(which is in the frig for emergencies now)plus...took each of the 3 babies...who were getting pretty weak..to mama at the milking stand...and helped them suckle(you have to tap tap tap their sides to keep them stimulated at this point & squirt milk in their mouths)and they got enough milk so they were falling asleep...so now...it's just wait & see what tomorrow brings! We have the bottles & milk if need be...

Good for you. I remember fondly going out to the barn to see the baby goats - they were my favourite. We'd bottle feed them so they loved to see us visit - actually I would keep them in the house for the first week or so.  :dance:

I remember attending on the occasional birthing problem as well - ever have your arm up a goat past the elbow! Not something I want to repeat thanks,

Marion

We have done the bottle feeding thing before...but it's so much easier to let their Mom's take care of it...we just try to spend as much time as possible playing with the babies so the are really tame:) lol and we have had a couple of house goats...one baby thought my hubby Paul was it's mom...since he took care of it for several days when it was really weak.

Oh yes...we have also had the occasional birthing problems...but not in a couple of years thankfully...I have had my arm there too...and would do it again if necessary...but hopefully it won't be:)

PS...The package is in the mail!

OK...it started out as a normal day, then we went to the goat barn for morning feeding time, and look what we found!2006goats010a.JPGThen when we went back down for the evening feeding...look what we found!goats2006003.JPGSo, now we have 5 new baby girls & 1 new baby boy. Luna2005goats-08.jpghad the 2 girls & 1 boy first thing in the morning & Violet2006goats008.JPGhad 3 girls in the afternoon. Here is the proud papa..2006goats011.JPGBillie.

Bev,
I know I need to find something other than the free one I am using, but Geocities.com  one is really user friendly as far as I have found...but it's rather kindergarten I guess...but so far it's working for me...

OK listen up!

As every southerner knows it's time to get ready for that all important
cooking technique of the south---outdoor Grilling! I have found several
stores (not just in the south) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q Grill! This
is not a joke. You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following
stores:

A&P
Albertsons
Costco
Food Lion
Fry's
Kroger
Homeland
Lowe’s
Sutherlands
Home Depot
Big Lots
Brookshire's
Meijer
Publix
Safeway
Sam's Club
Target
Vons
Wal-Mart
Winn-Dixie
and even our beloved New Orleans Robert's


I especially like the higher shelf which can be used for keeping things
warm!

ROFLMBO I sent it to a few folks...and one wrote back saying she has an ex-husband she would like to make a folder for :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

So I changed it a little...

HOW TO GET RID OF AN EX-HUSBAND

1. Open a new file in your PC.
2. Name it "EX-HUSBAND."
3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN
4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN
5. Your PC will ask you, "Are you sure you want to delete Ex-husband permanently?"
6. Calmly answer, "Yes," and press the mouse button firmly......
7. Feel better?
