This has been a busy week.  The weather has warmed and we've even had a few days of sunshine!  The hens are starting to increase their egg laying already and we have lots of nests of baby bunnies. 

The mama goats are bulging and I am checking daily for increasing udder size.  One doe, Snowflake, is starting to bag up, so those baby goats should be here in just a one or two weeks! Baby goats are so cute and so much fun.  Once the first doe gives birth, there tends to be a pheremone domino effect.  I can feel twins in at least 3 of the does who are biggest, and sometimes you can see the little rascals doing somersaults in mamas' bellies.

Lots of big rabbit litters are growing fast.  This week I bred my chocolate (brown) Beveren does!  There are 4 does bred to black bucks carrying chocolate, so I am hoping for lots of chocolate babies.  This color is in the development stage in the US, though recognized in Europe.  We have also rebred our blue and black Flemiosh does as our wait list has gotten quite long again!  We are happy that these Flemish colors are getting more popular!  We have a show coming up so we have been busy picking juniors for the show table and will be tatooing this coming week.

The horses are starting the shed a bit with this warmer weather.  Marcos is growing like a weed and becoming more handsome by the day.  The new baby girl Bella is cute as a button.  Just a bit more and it will be breeding season for the broodmares already.  Warm-up show season starts next month already so I certainly hope we are warmed up, but, no rush.

We got bedding shavings delivered this weekend and Holy Cow! The price went up again!  Even though we don't use much because we have matted stalls and animals go out all day, I am going to look into some recycled paper alternatives.

This past week has also been a busy organizational week on the computer.  I have divided up the content of BLOGS - check them out!  I am still adding content to the webpages as well, and I will be trying to add photos.
Wish List....a really nice, fast wireless laptop with tons of video memory and a super high quality and easy to use digital camera....
