With impeccable timing, Christine McVie (the goat, not the person) had two kids last week while there was a foot of snow on the ground, after the surprise snowstorm. When Kenn trudged out to feed them he was greeted by a little buck and a little doe, and a very tired Christine.

We must have just missed the birth, since they were still soaking wet. To make sure that they didn't freeze to death we had to a put a gallon jug full of hot water in their hut. Good thing Heather likes value wine. 
We immediately moved Lindsay Buckingham back to the dog run, since he doesn't like to waste any time. He is not too happy about it. Our other goat Stevie Nicks is enjoying her grandkids for now, but is also pregnant and looks like she is ready to pop any day. We are going to build a 2nd goat hut for her as its now a little crowded in the first one.
Our own kid is growing like a weed and enjoyed the snow a little more than the goats did.
But not as much as Remington.
