Measurements. Whats your waist size?

Ok, so tonight I found the measuring tape,
and took it outside to see how BIG those bellies outside are.
The goat bellies, if you didn't realize what I was referring to.

Reflection, a 4 yr old Alpine doe, is 53 ins. around at the belly.
I doubt that she got pregnant. And if she did, there couldn't be more than 1 hiding in there.

Reflection's coming 1 yr old daughter, Appa, aka Cinnabun, is 43 ins. around at the belly.Only 10 (nearly a foot) smaller around than her mom's belly. I KNOW Appa is pregnant.

Shaddo, a coming 2 yr old (tomorrow, happy 2nd birthday Shaddo!) is 49 ins around!

6 ins. bigger than Appa, 4 ins. smaller smaller than Reflection.
So Shaddo is really HUGE!! I can barely wait to see her kids, and to see how many she kids, and how big her kids are, come mid-late March.
Unless she's just getting fat on hay. But she is the 2nd or 3rd, on the alpha pecking order, only because she's still younger than 2 other does in the herd. Cause I barely grain at all, until the babies are born.
And the goats get their minerals in the mineral feeders in the barn.

I'll upload pictures of the goats tomorrow, and of course Shaddo, the birthday doe! and her big belly too :) .

Also, my dad is 48 inches around at the waist, so I called him a pregnant goat, and he quickly replied, "I am not!" lol :)

I on the other hand, am 28 inches at the waist :).

Dandy's leg, all healed!



I've been meaning to post this for over a week now! and I am glad to say, it's barely noticeable, unless you look REALLY close at it. And I am also glad to say, it also looks like all the hair is going to grow all back. Even though the hair kind of looks like it belongs to a curly bashkir! btw, those horses are cute!
