Christmas Eve

We've been doing the last preparations for Christmas today.

We loaded up the log rack on the porch so we will have plenty of wood for a couple of weeks for our wood stove.

Moved all the goats around to their new pastures and made sure everyone had lots of hay since we are supposed to get rain today and tomorrow. The snow is still hanging around from last week.

My bred Nubian does came back up to the big barn to stay until kidding in March. They were thrilled to be back close by. The Zebu's got to take over their pasture along with Bubba, the llama, and a few Hawaiian Black sheep. I also trimmed hooves on the Nigerian Dwarf does that are to begin kidding soon. I trimmed out their tails and dewormed them in preparation for the "big event". Put several of them into their kidding pens with heat lamps for the night hours. I disbudded a couple of Nigerian kids today and one of the bucklings got spared - - - he is naturally polled. Tonight we will be having a Christmas Eve dinner for our family. Santa came by about dark and picked up guinea pigs and rabbits for his deliveries tonight!
