Relentless

The cold rain only let up for a short while but I managed to get everyone their grain and hay, moved a few goats around to give them more room.Trinket a tiny doe kid born last spring was shivering, I forgot to close the barn windows and the rain blew in, after bedding them down with fresh straw. Who knew we would get howling winds all night. Penned her up with her mom and twin, she was fine after eating breakfast.She's never had any problems, just tiny and cute.Severe weather is stressful for goats.Sheep just back up to the wind and rain. It's stressful for me too, worrying about everyone's safety.Thankfuly, no one was kidding or lambing.When we had the Great Georgia Blizzard it was a disaster, lambs and kids were being born, most of them ended up by the wood stove for a few hours, there was at least 4 kids and 2 lambs in an old handmade cabinet, they really enjoyed snuggling up to each other.The does and ewes were so shocked they didn't fuss alot when I took them away, but were glad to see their babies returned.
