Farm living with goats...
Here is a series of videos I took from two days ago on the farm. Had 3 goats get out of their enclosure but thankfully they have no interest in wandering away... they stay right by home.
Most of them are fainting goats with the exception of one. I hope you enjoy the following presentation. Hit the right arrow to view the next short video. I’m new to owning goats… these was my goat adventure from yesterday. |

Tonight was ROUGH.
One of my mommas is heavily pregnant and couldn't get the kid out. Dude hung out her back end for 5 minutes and she could not, for the life of her, get him out. I burst the sack and felt for a bite reflex... which I thankfully got. I grabbed onto him and when she pushed I lightly pulled. Meatloaf was born at 9:30PM. Momma was still struggling for 15 minutes and I see another sack appear. I give her some time and by now she is exhausted and lies down. I give her some more time but 15 minutes later and the sack is only playing peekaboo from her back end. I get her back up and take a look... ****ing hooves, not a head. I try to get the hooves back in and pull the head forward but, instead, the head slips out with the hooves. At this point I don't really have a choice so I hold on to the baby and momma grunts and walks away. Baby did not survive. Spoiler below not for the squeamish.
Spoiler!
Momma is out there still looking huge but not actively pushing anything so I don't know if there is a third one in there she doesn't have the energy to push out or what the **** is happening with her. I've basically worked 18 hour days the past 4 weeks and 16 hour days the 4 weeks before that. I'm ****ing exhausted and spent. |

Keeping this guy. He is unrelated to 90% of the does here so he has plenty of prospects for breeding come December.
View post on imgur.com View post on imgur.com Today is the first day in 11 weeks that I have exactly zero goats inside the house. The three latest babies that had to be brought in are about 2 weeks old now and started spending half days outside as of today. They will spend half days out there for the next week, sleeping inside the house, before going outside full time and finally restoring peace in the house. The count, so far, for the year stands at 5 boys / 3 girls with 4 of them being retained. I may send Darry (the only non fainter, he is a Nigerian Dwarf) to Freezer Camp and may retain Philly as the wether. |

Food gets food based names.
Panini, Reuben, Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin, Tuna Fish, Philly, Grilled Cheese, Meatball, Pastrami and Swiss on Rye (Pastrami for short) are all bucks going to freezer camp this year. Can you spot the naming structure? It only serves to reinforce what they are on the homestead. |

Near Cherokee North Carolina they have some bar thing called Goats on the Roof.
And there are indeed goats on the roof. |

I'll take care of them and nurse them when they are sick but I still know what their purpose here is so I don't get too attached. I've had to cull goats that got overly sick and my attachment to them ****ed me up for what I had to do. |
