moved

I have moved to www.kjkfarm.webs.com if you would like to read what has been going on. I know I don't post very often but with a full time job and the farm to run, time is not on my side. Hopefully I will post more often. I need to set a time aside but just haven't done it yet.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry it's springtime in Missouri

I am so sorry it's been so long.
Spring is here and I have been doing this and that. It seems nothing is getting done and there isn't enough hours in the day.
Fences to fix
Goats bloating because of all the spring grass coming in. Some dieing
baby kittens
baby ducks
bottle babies to feed
I got 4 goats that i am watching because I don't know for sure when they were bred but they are has big as a house and bagged up they can hardly walk.
All this rain is making it harder to do anything.
Had a tornado come through the next town over from me. So glad it wasn't any closer but feel sorry for the families of the three people who died and the houses that got blown away.
Don't get me wrong I am so glad spring is here and the days are getting warmer. It's so great to go outside in shorts to do chores instead of 2 layers and clothes. Feels like I lost 10 pounds but if you look at me I think I gained 10 pounds over the winter.
Got to go. Will try to get pics of the baby ducks
Thank you for your time.

What a weekend

We had 14 babies born this weekend. 13 kids and 1 lamb. 2 goats had triplets, 2 goats had twins, and 3 had singles. I tried to get some pics. but I know I didn't get everyone. Here are a few.

This is Mary with her two kids born Friday, a boy and a girl.

This next pic is Hershey(who is Mary's sister) with one of the triplets she had on Friday. Hershey had two boys and a girl.

The above pic. is of Dottie with her little boy she had Sunday. Dottie had twins but the second one was born dead, looks like he stop growing inside her and let this little boy have all the food. This little boy was a very big baby and Dottie had a hard time having him but everything is going good for them.

I just wanted to add a couple pics of the bucks that made all these babies. The top one is Billybob, he is the main billy at three years old he does a real good job. The way he is standing is because he just got done spraying his face and I caught him before his lip went up in the air. He doesn't smell to bad right now but he does smell.

This one is Spot, he is only a year old but he is doing a pretty good job for a youngen. It's time for bed so good night all have a good sleep. Thank you for your time.

Animal pics

Two of my pygmy's had their babies. Maggie had twins, one black and one gray. Maggie's daughter Tony had triples two black and one white. I had them in separate pens but Tony's babies got into Maggie's pen and I couldn't tell which was which so put Tony in with Maggie. Now there are 5 baby with their moms in one pen. They are getting along very well. The babies are enjoying each other. Here are a few pics I took. I can't seem to get all 5 babies together at the same time.

I think this two are Maggie's babies. The black one if you look at it straight in the face it looks like a donkey. They are so cute.

These is one of Tony's babies.

This is Abby. She has been running with the bulls for a while and I hope she will give me a baby in October. She is kind of wild but will let me scratch her head and give her treats. Dad came and got the bulls today and I couldn't get Abby separated from them so she went with them. Dad will get the separated and bring her home then.

This is little Ethel. Her momma died and I am bottle feeding her. I tried to get her to suck off a goat but it wasn't going to well. I took the baby goat Timmy that I had in the house and put him on this goat which is his momma and it took a couple days but she is letting him suck so everything is working out for the best.

Now I only have Suzy and Ethel on a bottle.

That's all for today. It was a great day wasn't it? Have a good night.

I forgot

I knew I would forget someone.
The sheep.
How could I forget them? I guess I was half asleep last night.
There are 8 sheep(2 of them babies). Waiting on 4 of them to have babies. They are getting ready to pop. When they lay down they look miserable, look up at me and say ain't it over yet. I keep telling them they have to wait until it warms up around here before you have your babies. They just lay their head back down and grunt or slowly get up and go eat something. I can hear them now, "Well if I can't have my babies now I might as well eat".
By the way these sheep are Suffolk sheep. They are a lot easier to keep in then the goats. If there is a small hole in the fence the goat go right threw it but the sheep don't seem to care, but if the gate is open the sheep run to get out.
Just wanted to make a comment about the time thing at the end of the posts. It ain't always right. I saw what time it said I posted yesterday and thought hum how could I of did that at that time when I was at work then.
Don't believe everything you see.
Saturday is my day off so will be able to get picture of everyone after the morning feeding frenzy.
Talk to you all later.

Getting started

Let me start by telling you what I have here on my part of the farm.

62 Boer goat crosses 9 of them are babies.(more babies to come)

2 heifers

1 heifer was born Feb.26 and lost her mother so now I have her. Got her yesterday and am trying to get her to suck off a goat that had triples and lost 2 of them. The 3rd baby goat is in the house now getting bottle fed because his legs didn't want to work so good when he was born but he is doing a lot better now. Starting to jump and walk around some.

A few chickens, I lost count how many.

2 ducks

3 dogs

many cats

and a bird that live in the house with 3 cats.

I think that is all the animals if I forgot someone sorry.

This is the little boy that is in the house being bottle feed. His name is Timmy

This is the new calf that I am bottle feeding and trying her to suck off this goat. The goat who's name is Cogo is the mother of Timmy. Cogo lets the calf drink while she is eating but when she is done I have to hold her so the calf can drink.

Have to be to work at 7:30 in the morning so will say good night for now.
