Rosie led the mamas off with the first birthing in this birthing season. Little Billy (Billy Goat) is living up to his name and plays King of the Mountain whenever he's around a small hill of hay. Scoop came next and is Allie's baby. She was so named because of the three little white scoops that are on her forehead. She is a lot like her mother and in everyone's business! Blanca had a boy named Spot because he has one white spot on his face. Calfie's little girl is Cheeky because of the two white spots on either cheek. Tara finishes out the new moms with a little boy called Ryan because he shares human Ryan's birthday. As is typical, each have their own personalities and cute antics, which are fun to watch as they follow their mamas around the pasture. The Vet comes tomorrow morning to perform the three "brain surgeries" and help with ID ear tags. By doing this first group, we are making the time working shorter and it'll be easier identifying the next group when they arrive.
The long awaited driveway repairs have been made. Hopefully we'll have fewer potholes and less mud.
Even though we purchased 30 additional bales of hay several months ago, we probably will not have enough to get us through the winter. The debate has begun about what to do next. If we have a mild winter and early spring those seasonal grasses may save us...
Hope your Holidays are wonderful!!!
