As a senior in college, I am one of the few that did not head to Panama City, California, Texas, or even a cruise for spring break. I simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity to head back to the farm. After all it is kidding and calving season…
My spring break began when I landed in Baltimore in the wee hours of the night to head home to Southern Maryland. However, it was inevitable that despite the morning hours we had to check the goats that were soon to kid. The last doe decided to wait a few more days, but that didn’t stop me from seeing all the new calves the following morning.
Spending time with the family (despite more than one occurrence with the flu) is great, but the animals are really what bring the family together. Whether it is checking for babies in the middle of the night, or feeding the animals in the evening, the farm atmosphere is hard to escape!
Here is a peek at some of the babies we have on the Mohler farm so far this year…
