what i got more critters for i dont know (cept that fresh turkey sounded so good for the holidays! lol) anyway we got 3 of the little guys, dont know if they are hens or toms. they are cute little guys and grow like weeds! i do believe they have doubled in sixe in one day!

we took racheal (the goat momma) to get bred yesterday. the babies dried for the entire day and still arent terribly happy today. i am hoping that they keep milking her so that when i get my new milker (should be here in 2 weeks) i will be able to learn on her before i start milking the cow! i do hope its a good milker, it is reconditioned for about $700 and $120 shipping of course! there are disadvantages to living in alaska and shipping is definately one of them!!

i miss chatting with all of you daily. hopefully can be back soon. medical tests are still inconclusive *sigh* i have to be at the hospital for a TEE at 6:15 am!

what kind of machine did you get? i have a belly surge, and a side can type. i like the side can best. i can see the milk come from each quarter and so i know when she is milked out. i found adapters for the surge that are clear. i believe you can get silicone inflations too these days. conniw whats going on. i never saw a post? are you ok? i will be praying for you. sherrye
