With the start of a New Year comes the start of a New Season of milking. Part of our herd freshened the last 2 weeks of December 2010. It was many sleepless nights that I crawled out of bed every hour during the night to go check everyone and make sure all was well. Most of the babies were born on those very cold nights, but between the mommas, me and a couple other goats chipping in we got the babies dried off, up and nursing within minutes of birth. Theres nothing like the first cries of a new baby.
