We were getting worried that Maisie the goat was going to have a whole litter of baby goats. She looked huge, but yesterday afternoon, about 3:00, she gave birth to twin bucklings. We've named them Antonio and Sebastian. It's a complete coincidence that those are the names of friends in both The Tempest and Twelfth Night by Shakespeare, because Ashley named them and says she hasn't ever heard of either of the plays!
Flint goes into the field in the afternoons, when we can trick him into staying there. He's still small enough to fit in between the bars on the gate to the field, so I guess if we want him to stay there we need to do something about that. He trained himself on the electric fence, so that's not a problem, but he would just prefer not to be in the field with the big goats. Maybe these two new bucklings will give him some-goat to play with!
Also, I'm going to take older photos off the main blog page and put them onto Shutterfly. You can find them here: http://hartkirtonfarms.shutterfly.com/. All of the house photos and older photos are there, too.
