And the Craziness Continues..

Things are quickly getting crazier and crazier here at Strike's Retreat. 
  • Sparkle's is on day 119 of her pregnancy.  Only 31 days to go!
  • Tomorrow we're expected to get 3-4 inches of snow.
  • Our Sarplaninac puppies will be arriving Saturday night.
  • We have another upcoming trip to MA in the works to pick up our newest addition and her two kids.
  • We've been scheduling to have all the goats linear appraised this summer.
  • We're starting to research bees to decide whether we will start a hive this spring. 
  • And lastly we're finishing gathering all our kidding supplies.
I took some time to take photos of all the does today.  The temps were almost in the 50's so all the does seemed content to be out grazing. 








It wouldn't be a good photo lineup without a picture of Miss Nunya. Right?






Things are never quiet and easy on a farm, but we wouldn't trade it for anything!

The first three does are all starting to get bigger as the days go on!
 - Karamel Blue
 - Allie

 Dolce -
 Pauline-
 -Sparkles
- Smarty












Also new this week, Mom made the bucks a feeder!
The boys have been super happy with it, and it's saved me a lot of time filling up bags of hay.

More Pregnant Does!

One of our last two does to be bred, Pauline and Allie, seem to have taken on their breedings! Both girls did not come back into heat this week, so so far so good.  The only doe who's breeding we're unsure about now is Karamel. 

We also on Monday got our last goat for the year!  I have pictures of him to upload but haven't had time to put them up quite yet! Private is joining us from Indiana and has a great Pedigree behind him. We're looking forward to using him in the program next year!
