The little goat is still alive and seems to be getting a little more active. She is crying for her bottle now and walking around. She is wearing a size one diaper and preemie onsies. She is still having a hard time keeping her body temperature up so she has to go in her basket and bundle up after she has been up. She is drinking about 3oz of milk 5-6 times a day. Spud the puppy wants to play with her but she is still to little for that. I think I will name her Emma Lee.

Dusty spent the day fixing net wire fencing and putting up electric fence. The goats were very disappointed that they could not jump the fence and to eat silage with the cattle anymore.

Feeding went well tonight. Lilly, Chunk and Bindi (sheep) decided they would stay in the Nigerian lot for a while so that was fine with me. They are out of the way for now but I don't know how long they will stay.

Deer are starting to come around. This is the first we have seen deer consistently since we have been here.
