Oh how i wish i could embrace technology. If only i had had a video camera this morning, i would have something REALLY funny to share. Let's see if i can describe it...
The babies were reduced to one bucket of milk a day this week. They are eating grasses and grains, so it is time. However, they do not think this is a good idea.
I set out Big Mama this morning, and they were so anxious to get to breakfast that they were all pushing against the bucket, and it started spinning around, the babies all staying on their nipples and still pushing, so they were spinning around like they were on a merry-go-round, nobody popping off the nipples. Then Cherry Blossom had to see what was going on, and stepped up on the top of the bucket. The bucket stopped turning, but the babies kept going, and in just a second we had a big old Celtic knot of goat kids, as some walked over others, but all stayed on their nipples.
Wish you were there. Probably going to be this years memory for the books. Last year's was when i walked out to the yard, and all eight kids were lined up like soldiers in two perfect rows, and in unison, like a well trained choir, opened their little mouths and gave me a "MMmmmaaaaaaa," as if coming from one voice.
