    Well, I'm a great grandpa again. Twice. Two cute little goats were born this morning. Mom and kids are doing fine. I've spent a large part of the day traipsing around in the snow rigging up a heat lamp for them. She would pick the coldest day of the year to fall apart! Her sister is due to domino any day now, so I went ahead and set up a heat lamp for her, too.

    I'll get pix when they're able to come out and play.

    It's feeding time, so mama and kids are standing up where I can see them. Mama's studying the heat lamp in this photo.

          Well, I was mainly speaking about the one on the left of the pic.

            My nose is shorter than that.

            Both kids are currently residing in our dining room in a large wire dog crate. Mama was not keeping them warm enough, even with the heat lamp, and they were not eating due to being cold. Now they're sucking down 4 oz. of milk each every 4 hours and getting a few minutes on mama twice a day while I'm milking her. I hope to put them back outside Saturday when the temp comes up some.

              A few years ago , a fair number of us (then) active board members all met up at Tex's ranch in Wyoming. While there, one of Tex's goats had a kid. One of our early members (Gena, aka Gena.ky, aka Gena of Going Home) absolutely fell in love with that little kid. She tried everything in her power to get the airlines and her husband to allow her to bring the lil goat home to Kentucky. She failed on both accounts , but she sure tried. Tex had a small pen in his kitchen that the kid resided in.

                I have a couple I'd be glad to mail her. More on the way probably today or tomorrow.

                  Confirmed. Two new kids this morning, a boy and a girl with identical markings. Mama still hasn't bagged up, so I may end up having to feed them.

                      I'm pretty sure you all just sat around drinking, telling stories and watching a goober get branded and maybe shot a few harmless empty cans. )

                        I'm afraid I don't produce enough milk, either. May have to use a bottle and some of their aunt's milk.
