Kinder Goats
Hello
We are on kidding watch this weekend. Our family has become involved in goats - meat goats and dairy goats. For dairy goats, we have initially elected to utilize the Kinder breed. The embedded slideshare PPT above is a project of my daughter for her 4-H Goat and Public Speaking projects. Due to some glitches beyond my control, the slideshare conversion corrupted some of the slide formatting, but there is still some good information.
Our first Kinder doe is Daisy May, and we are expecting twins (or hopefully triplets) sometime in the next 3-4 days. We'll post some pictures of the babies soon.

Ponies
I just discovered a new web-app called BillboardMaker. So, I just tooled around with it for a few minutes with a pic from my wife's blog. Voila! I made a billboard about ponies. This billboard features my favorite horse/pony named Trixie. She's an ostensibly registered Welsh Section B pony. My daughter Lillie rides her at county fair shows.

Blogging Again (?) - New Site; Old Details
I'm going to try blogging again. Just add it to the list of other things I don't have time to do.
This new blogging effort (and blogging platform) are mostly motivated by the closing down of Posterous. Today (April 30, 2013) was the last day it was up, and I was informed I needed to migrate my old Posterous content to a new place or lose it forever. Hence, this new site.
Note, all the posts starting this blog out that are dated April 30, 2013, were actually published in mid to late 2009 (UPDATE 9PM April 30, 2013: Blogger allowed me to revise the post date and the posts are now listed with the original date of publication on Posterous). I don't know if the original post date is embedded in the meta-data of the post anywhere, but I did want to record that little detail somewhere, so here it is.
Have a good day.
Tim
