Ken's in Finland this week, giving a talk and working with collaborators in Helsinki, and I'm in Vermont, at my sister and brother-in-law's dairy goat farm. I've blogged and
written about the farm before, so today I thought I'd post some photos.
Winter kidding season has just about wound to an end. My sister was feeding 50 baby goats for a few weeks there, which is a whole lot of work. She's down to 9 now. As she says, fewer than 10 bottle babies are cute; more than that is work. The 9 she's feeding
are pretty cute.
The ground is still frozen here in Vermont, and the ice abundant, but the sun is shining, and goats, chickens, roosters and people are happy to see it.
