The Goat Stork Flies Again
Here is an update on how our pregnant does are doing. I thought I would give you a pictorial that covers the past few months. We have three does that will be having kids somewhere between February 23rd and March 7th.
The first doe that is due is Velvet, on or about February 23rd. This will be her second year to kid. Last year she had a large single doe.

This really cold weather we are having is keeping the goats in the barn more than they would like. Today the high has been about 18 degrees which is really cold for this part of the country. Nubians are warm weather goats and we are concerned how this weather may be affecting these pregnant does. Time will tell.
We pray everyone is able to stay warm and safe through the rest of this harsh winter. It's hard to really try and think about a collapse situation when the weather is so very cold. If things were to collapse during this dangerously cold weather, it would be devastating for many, many people. But it's kind of like have goat kids, we don't always get to choose when they come.
Until next time – Fern
