Lottie delivers...

First timer Lottie (a LaMancha) had a BIG white boy this morning and is acting like nothing happened. She did great, I think she is a keeper! (She was anyway!)

Biggest news (to my children, at least...) SNOW!

The Texas goats (even those originally from Montana and Idaho) think they are dying, it is the end of the world, this white stuff coming out of the sky! The goats brought home from Iowa less than a month ago are reveling in the cold!

The Texas farmers, though, are dying. Sorry Houston, sorry Austin...you will have to find somewhere else to get your milk, yogurt and cheese--we are moving further South.

I hear Belize is beautiful this time of year...

And Princess follows suit...

Lest Grace (who has been promising all day that Princess would kid today) be humiliated, Princess came through. A black doeling, that looks like Princess and a huge buckling hat looks like Reuben his daddy.

Maybe now we can sleep? Unlikely, with technically four more goats to kid, cheese to hang and baby goats to feed...

Aggie heard we were snickering

and decided that she better get the show on the road. She had a single buckling--twice the size of any other baby that we have had born this year. Solid black and already spoken for.

Next on the docket? My money is on Princess...
