Looking for spring!

Halfway through February and I (just like everyone else) cannot wait for this winter to be over!  The TMR feeding system is working out great.  The younger ewes that weren't competing with the older ewes for hay on the bale feeders are all gaining and growing like they should.  Good to see!  With Steve still working part-time we are feeding twice a week and using the little tractor to push the feed in to the pens each day.  Seems to work for us!  
Right now we're anticipating the arrival of some kids (the four legged kind).  In the fall we purchased 2 Saanen goats that were supposed to be bred.  One is looking like it but the other not so much...  I'm eager to not have to pay for milk again and possibly make some cheese!  We'll see how ambitious I get.
Lambing for us isn't for another 2 months and I can hardly wait for it to get here!  Though I'm sure I'll be wishing it all over when we're in the thick of it.  I love having lambs in April; right when the pasture is growing like crazy the lambs are ready to attack it!  It's also easier to take the kids outside when they're not freezing.
