CROOKED CREEK FARM

Here it is,February 2, 2008. The holidays have passed and Jim has recovered  after a ten day visit at the hospital  with pneumonia. I have more time on my hands until the most of our does start kidding out later this month.

We had our first new arrivals on Jan 30th. Sweet little twin doelings. Their picture is on our for sale page. I got a little shook up when  they  was born because their mom had blood mixed with her milk in the left side of her udder. Upon advice from an on line friend I started to milk her out and found that the liquid gold (colostrum) started coming nice and clear. What a relief.

I do not like to remove kids from their mothers. They need her badly for many reasons. Anyway, all is well for the happy little family.  

We are enjoying some great weather here this morning. Temperatures are over 40 degrees. That makes me dream of spring. Can't wait !!
