We went out to do the chores today and look what we found!
This is Sophia, our herd matriarch, getting some rest in the warm tin manger! It usually holds breakfast for our herd, but as you can see it was cleaned out at the last feeding, so she found another use for it. The rest of the goats had moved up to the barn to see what they might find for hay. Sophia saw me with the camera, and she is such a show goat she was happy to pose for me.
It is getting a little chilly around here, but very mild for this time of year. We’re still getting up into the 50s and 60s most days, which is wonderful for our does, as they’re all very heavy with babies. I’m not even sure how Sophia got into the manger as wide as she is! She has beautiful babies, though, so I’m sure she’s taking care of herself as she always does.
Stay tuned for pictures when the babies start coming, which will be right around Christmas and New Year’s. In the meantime, we hope you all have a lovely holiday. Sophia says to stay warm, and told me to pass on this tip: Sometimes when you’re pregnant, it’s best to make your bed at the breakfast table!
