The babies seem to be their usual selves again, which makes me feel a little bit better. I spray their horns with tea tree oil and water once a day to help with healing. Poor little goaties :( I'll be SO glad when the burn marks are gone and the fur covers their heads again!

My father in law came over and disbudded all 5 kids and re-disbudded Larry because his horns started growing back. I'm pretty stressed about it, but it's the best thing for them as the rest of my goats have no horns. I'm sure they'll be fine...it just makes me sad to hear my baby goaties crying and in pain :( I'm buying tea tree oil to put on their boo boos to make them feel better!

All 5 baby goats are all snuggled up under the heat lamp on this windy day <3 Alva's going to be lonely once the 4 boys go to their new homes...guess I'll just have to get her a friend at the next auction I go to ;)

We spent a lot of time in the goat pens today trying to get everybody to get along with Alva, with no luck. So, Alva remains in the pen next to the mommas and 4 kids. The kids can climb through the calf panel to visit and play with Alva as they please. Hopefully the mommas get used to her and start to play nicely. We switched the goats to opposite sides of the pen so Alva actually sleeps in her house now...when we had her on the other side she slept outside all night :( Jamison also made a new pen for the indian runner duck, so she has a small stream to play in :)

As of last night, all 4 kids have homes as soon as they're old enough. Pablo and Picasso will go to my mom's house and the other 2 will go to Jamison's cousin, Jade & family :) That means I can bring home more babies from the auction in 2 weeks, right Maggie? LOL

So I came home from the auction with a baby girl goat...I couldn't help myself. My mommas had all boys and I wanted a girl so bad, I got one! She's either oberhasli or alpine, both good milking goats! I also got a lionhead doe for my buck and a fawn indian runner duck, who needs a mate :( I'm going again in 2 weeks...hopefully I don't come home with anything else ;)
