New Year Update

The weather has continued with very cold mornings and warmer in the afternoons. A few very cold mornings in the mid 20º range. Too cold or limited time/daylight for a lot of outside work.

The kids are doing fine. They are just now taking serious interest in the goat feed. They rush the gate with the adults at feeding time. Over a month old and they are filling out well. Some look real good as far as form and confirmation goes, but I don't 'show' goats. They will be keepers though for sure.

Still plenty of ladybugs (at least indoors) and finches around. I put out the snacks, cookies, trail mix, nuts, etc. left over from the holidays and that has attracted a few raccoons and squirrels. So they are not all gone. I am curious as to what culled them, but we have also cleared more on top of the mountain so they do have less cover near the house. We are still also getting a lot of deer at the feeder.
