Prof. Sam LawlerSuch very round goats.
Such intense derpy-ness.
It's also a Good Cloud Day, which is excellent. New Zealand has great clouds, but the huge prairie sky is my favourite!
The #BabyGoatCountdown is down to 2 days, so tonight will be the first 2am barn check. Mostly just because I have 5 goats all due on Thursday, so the odds are better that someone will be a little earlier. Nobody looked imminent, and it's not super cold (this is WAY less stressful than kidding time when it's -25C out!) But a 2am check seems like a good idea tonight.

The only downside to the much warmer temperatures for #BabyGoatCountdown this year is that the babies won't need ear-warmers made from socks.

Just because they don’t need them, doesn’t mean they can’t have them. 😉

Cedar Fen FarmI don't need ear warmers for the lambs, but we tape disposable baby diapers around them if its really cold. Pulls the moisture out of their coats. We also sew little coats for them. I made them out of old bath towels last year. Its a toss up these days lambing early or late the way the temperatures been swinging. Ewes get sick when its too hot and they go off feed.
