As usual, I was exhausted and hurting after a day babysitting my sister's kids. However, NOT as usual, I was able to stay in bed almost the whole day and rest! Karen and Aud did the feeding and Aud worked all day cutting up firewood and fence poles and preparing the pasture for the new fence. Karen got the birthing box ready and did a number of other things around the ranch. I got up for lunch and a few minutes here and there and mostly spent the day in bed. What a relief!
As we were doing the evening feeding we found that one of the baby goats is sick - looks like a cold. He's weak and having trouble breathing. We gave him penicillin and put him and his sister in a stall with the heat lamp on and lots of grain by themselves.
We also castrated the male baby goat we wanted to castrate.
Cooked dinner around the campfire and relaxed.
