Waiting for Spring...

OK..so between the bad weather and a sick goat or two we are finally getting caught up.
Berta was the next goat to have a problem...an icky leg infection...that required shots (oh goody) and a nasty sulphur ointment for ALL the goats.
I did use some old time farm cure though which worked well. It's a good general purpose topical antibiotic and skin soother....first make a 50/50 solution of cider vinegar and water and wash the injury...then put on a mixture of cider vinegar and olive oil (just like salad dressing!!!) to soothe and protect any irritated skin. It works on animals..never tried it on people.
70MPH wind gusts took down one of our tipis. It will stay down for a while as it needs a lot of repair.
The Patuxents were here for their winter camp and we hosted a gala 18th C. feast for them at Cider Mill House. We had a wonderful evening. Those folks are the best. We cooked game stew, ham, winter squash, 4 different kinds of breads, and even a raspberry fool along with other goodies for the meal. Yum.
See ya soon.
