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.
