Barn Pics

For Mother's Day I made everyone work on the barn with me. I know, not so fun, but I did promise them an Indiana Jones marathon after we finished.

We now have 2 permanent kidding pens and one emergency kidding pen in the barn. We also have a milking station and a creeper for the kids, and an alfalfa pellet trough.

Here is a picture of the milk room.



Here is a picture of Frosty eating out of the alfalfa trough. Behind her you can see the creeper. The trough is made out of PVC pipe cut in half and mounted on the wall.

A creeper is a space the babies can go and the adults can't. I will put some medicated food in there for them. We need to make the entrance smaller because Little Bit can get in on her knees right now.


Here is a look at the kidding pens.


Here is a view of the barn from the goat pen with a very handsome man in the middle of it.


All we really have left is a hay rack and a shelf for the grain for the goats while they are on the milk stand.

GG-Ma saw half-pint cans of goat milk on the shelf at Dahl's at something like $2.39 each!!
It's amazing to see all these buildings and processes develop!
