my 2 goats have just started kidding this was after a day cutting peat on our peat bank ,managed to fall off it and hurt my leg Evil or Very Mad

,350 peats cut today and the turf replaced the right way up so it will carry on growing ,still who cares ,the goats are kidding

, one we think has three and the other we are not sure 1 or 2 ,and to top it all the chicks are hatching under the broodie (our first home bred chickens and goats on the same day) i love spring

suz (very happy if things go right for once ,i'm going to sleep in the shed if they don't kid before i go to bed)

Hi Nonie,

The picture didn't work Crying or Very sad

you have to hit the IMG button and then write in the full image location, something like htttp://www.photos.com/picture.jpg
Then hit the image button again.

Has Holi had any kids yet?

Hope your mum isn't too tired
All the best
