Another Busy Sunday

First day of the Biblical new year and time for work. 

The guys have been hanging gates. One leads into the dog yard and the other into the chicken/buck yard.

The guys are now working on the dog run which is within the doe pasture.  

This morning Leandra and I took care of goat chores. We brought in each goat kid, weighed them, administered the CDT vaccine as well as Ivermectin for internal and external parasites. We also disbudded the last baby goat, Cupcake. After that, we went out and trimmed hooves on the bucks and wethers.  

I came in and ate a quick bite and drank coffee, cleaned up kitchen, put a load of laundry in, and put bread dough into loaves. 

Then Leandra and I went out and worked in the garden. We started putting more mulch into  the garden bed, but dumping the wagon proved a bit more work. So after watering the garden quickly. We added mulch to the berries and fruit trees. 

I decided there isn't much I can do to plant in the garden. So I decided to stop for now. Meanwhile, I can plan what is going where in the garden. 

My seedlings are not doing very well, but I will keep watch and hope they grow bigger for transplanting. 

I was able to fix the turkey's nest which currently has 14 eggs in it.  The blue slate tom, which I have named Arnold, is quite aggressive but left me alone. After I moved the eggs, the hens checked to see what I did. 

Rosemary and Sage have been weaning their babies. I don't see them nursing very often. We need to separate the rams but don't want to open up pens yet. So we will need to set up some electric hot wire for them soon. 

Meanwhile, Basil, who lost her ram lamb last month is doing well. As is Othello, our ram. 

I am not too sure there is much else to share. It will be a busy week with Rebekah's wedding on Thursday.  Mom and Dad will arrive tomorrow night and will be staying in a hotel. The day after the wedding the kids leave on their return trip to Montana.
