Busy Season

This is definitely one of the busiest months of the year for us. Family visiting. Church camps. 4H horse fair. Lots of garden harvesting. Berry picking. Animal and house sitting for others. Goat kid weaning and sales. Extra milking.

Therefore, posting here may seem sporadic but should start to improve. I still update our daily harvest here and am just keeping a daily journal posting over at our home blog site, Six in the Northwest.

In other words, don't go away. So many wonderful and interesting things happen around here but there just doesn't seem to be the time to get them posted. Working on that though.

Kidding Time Again

I've decided to make a commitment to maintain our blogger accounts ... again ... but I don't feel quite so intimidated this time around.

Kidding is just around the corner with two of our does having been bred to the Boer buck which my daughter bred herself. One doe is an Oberhasli who last year with her second freshening threw a great single doeling with a definite market build who is turning into a great percentage breeding doe for market auction prospects. The other doe is a black and white Boer that struggled to thrive as a youngster, having been a bit of an accident and arrived suddenly during Veterans day. She was given to our family to hand raise and actually spent the entire Christmas holiday in the house until the weather moderated a bit in order to go live outside. Needless to say, we're anxious to see what the Ober will throw and how the Boer will do with her first pregnancy.
