We did the math and figured out that we are expecting between 22 and 27 babies in the Spring. :eek: I love your blog. It's such a fun read!

When I saw Clover's collar, I had to write. It looks exactly like the collar I had on my two does two years ago...and one of them got caught on a piece of wire and strangled herself. It was so terribly sad I had to get out of goat-keeping altogether. So I felt obliged to let you know... There are cheap nylon collars with snap plastic buckles that will come apart if the animal struggles. Lots of people use those on their sheep and goats. Good luck with your lovely little herd!

When you start milking Clover you can teach her to jump up on a little platform and then you won't have to break your back! Milking a goat is much easier than milking a cow.
