New kids on the block and more

My new tee.
I grow twins, whats your superpower?

It has been awhile since I last shared with you. I have written loads of blogs in my head but not managed to get any of them onto the computer screen.

We had the school holidays; about to start week two of term four. Bring on the summer hols hehe Looking forward to some family being here for two weeks of it too.

I had a local market on this Saturday just gone and have the school fair this Friday night. Then I will have a break until mid November. The markets do alright but I think my new facebook page will serve me better.

The goats are well. Neville was REALLY sick last weekend, so sick we called the vet out. Coccidious. A germ that is in the belly of many animals but dangerous if in large numbers. A does of antibotics and we waited to see if he would live or not. He did!!! So please to see him running and jumping about. Today I went and sat in the paddock, Neville came and sat on my lap. He is about the size of our dog now so it was rather funny to have happen. We now think that Coccidious was the course of Richard's death. 

all of the goats ready to be released for the day.

Oh, of course, I haven’t been able to tell you about our new babies. Heidi and Beau. I think they were born about the end of September. We went up to Railton in the middle of the holidays to collect them. They didn’t take long to learn how to drink out of the bottles. I think that it helped starting them off with colostrum from their mums as it got them used to the teats with the taste they were used too.

Aj started fencing the goat paddock in the second week of the holidays. A fencing contractor came and spent a day with Aj teaching, guiding, doing. He came back a few days later to check on Ajs work. He got the tick of approval and so was left to finish off. One more small section and a gate and we’ll be done. Then the electric wire will go back on.

Have a good week all. Don't forget to check out the PM facebook page.
