Words from the Wise: Goat Birthing

Many "first timers" have no idea what is going on. They have no idea that they were pregnant or that the pains they were experiencing were anything more than a really difficult poop. Instinct guides them and tells them what to do, but sometimes their instinct does not quite "kick-in". They may lay, looking off into space, thinking, "goodness that hurt" and not even notice that there is a little baby that now needs cleaning off.

Life.

My camera ran out of batteries and I haven't had time to get new ones, so there are no new pictures. Sorry! Last week was a bad week. A lot of loss on the farm, very disheartening. This week is showing promise. I received a phone call from someone wanting to buy a puppy. My first! They are getting so big and cute. When I go out the feed them they all hear me coming and come running. Even now you can see each of their little personalities. It will be sad to see them go. Not much new though.

The Circle of Life.

We lost two goats here on the farm. The new baby and Casper (the Nubian billy). It's sad in way but also I know it is a part of life. I think God is truly using this whole experience to teach me so much. No, in fact, I know he is. I am continually brought back to him, having to ask for help and his guidance. And you know what? He provides. I can see it.

New Friend!

So today I went to check on the puppies today and this is what I found.

Curious... she hangs with the puppies and nurses from the momma pup yet I do believe she is a goat. I wasn't even aware the mother goat was pregnant.


Josh named her Stacy. Who's Stacy??


Is she a goat or a puppy?

I have officially lost count of the days....

So this is my third week on the farm. I don't think I have learned more in three weeks in my life.


The cat. Who knows?
