Our goat girls now have a back door, yay! My hubbie made a nice dutch door with multiple choices: both open, both closed, bottom open top closed, bottom closed top open - whatever I want. It's already proven it's usefulness when mucking out the barn, fresh air but no goats inside and I could leave the stall door open for easy loading... it sure is the little things that make life easier :)
These are the girls eating lunch - they only get fed once a day now, half a bucket of apple pomace (left over from pressing cider) and a cup of bran each. But Thirteen still does not share well, so I feed them in two places and it kinda works like musical chairs with most times Thirteen ending up with two places! So sometimes I grab her collar and hook her on for 15 minutes or so - she can eat but not move places - and that settles her down for a couple days or so.
5 more weeks and Gazelle is due :)
Her first kid(s); she's about as tall as the adult does now and getting bigger every day - it's so neat, we've had her since she was a few weeks old!
