Lorraine

Lorraine: She's more coat than kid as of yet.
Leslie's surviving kid, little Lorraine, still has the saggy skin of a newborn--with more coat than kid at the moment. For now she's spending her time indoors, staying within the safety of the stall rather than venturing into the home pasture. Although the weather has been well above freezing, I've left the heat lamp on for the past couple of nights. Kids take a few days to get to the point where they can regulate their own body temperature.

Leslie has more milk than this single kid will drink as of now. Yippee! I love the extra-fatty milk from our Nubian does, and Leslie is promising to be as good a producer as Miss Marcie this season. Praise God for all the blessings of farm life!
