Kids!

Filed under: Animals — misty at 2:18 pm on Sunday, February 25, 2007

Baby the goat had her babies today!

Male: 9 lbs
Male: 8.5 lbs

They are cleaned and separated from her, and walking around and bleating. :) I’ll give her another 40 minutes or so before I go out and milk her for the first time, and feed the boys.

Update!

Cream has twin doe’s Feb 27th around noon. Birth was easy and the kids cleaned up very well. They are learning to walk and I’ll get them weighed and fed in a couple of hours.

This brings the total up to 6 babies so far for 2007!

Lambs!

Barncast 55 — Your question show

Filed under: Podcast — andrew at 9:34 pm on Thursday, February 22, 2007

This weeks show was done a bit early, since I’m going to be out of town at Podcamp Toronto this weekend. We break our format a bit this week and do a listener question show. We answer a series of questions that came in on the Farm Phone (206-202-GOAT) and then some that came in via comments. We’re thinking of making this a more regular type of show. If you liked the show then let us more and maybe we’ll try to make it a more regular thing.

  • Intro, why are we podcasting early
  • Farm Phone, 206-202-GOAT
    • 4 calls this week!!
  • Round Up: Nothing new
  • Farm Section: More questions we got via email
  • Life: Travel!

Let us what you know of this show, drop us a line either on the phone or email us at gfl@geekfarmlife.com.
