We had a dry, extremely hot summer.  Widespread drought is causing very high hay and feed prices.  The goats and cows had to be fed hay all summer, which is very unusual.  We got relief in late summer, rain and cooler temps.  The cows and goats have been able to eat green food for the last couple months.  Now, based on the geese flying over very early, the does already getting their winter coats.....I'm wondering if we might be in for an early/long winter.

Normally, I would be depressed to see the days get shorter and the nights colder.  I really don't like winter.  This year, after the amazingly hot summer, I am enjoying this fall weather!  The goats seem to be enjoying the cool weather more than usual, too.

All the does should be bred, now I'm breeding the doelings.  I'll be holding Miracle(the premie from the aflatoxin incident) back this year and breeding her next year.  She needs the extra growth time.

I'm juggling goats at the moment, trying to move one pen at a time to the other side of the farm.  I'll be moving over with them just as soon as I can get all the fence down, then back up!
