Hey OFG, I hope your goat gives birth soon. Mine gave birth last night after midnight. My first goat babies and everything went smoothly. Of course birthing doesn't bother me, I have been birthing alpacas for myself and other alpaca farms for over 10 years. Doing my own butchering? Now that is another story!

oh sure YOUR goat has her babies! sheesh.. still nothing yet.

i'm going to start docking that goat's pay because her launch schedule has been delayed. now i'm going to have to adjust our product deadlines, shipping dates, the new employee orientation....

heck. i might as well send back the little goatie tshirts that say "TEAM: Together Everyone Accomplishes More"

this is a disaster. i gotta call marketing on this and get with the engineers..... someone order donuts this is going to be a working meeting....

we've come up with some preliminary ideas to get this thing off the ground... so far we are considering:

* pacing around anxiously
* showing K's picture of HER goats to debbie and telling her she's behind the bell curve and needs to work a little harder
* giving our goatie a Performance Improvement Plan with the first Improvement Goal of: new goats asap
* taking away her parking pass
* starting rumors that her position has been listed and running an ad on Monster.com for a GOOD dairy goat.

and my favorite: sneaking up behind her and yelling to startle her so the babies come shooting out. i'm getting one of the barncats on that one. i think it will work.

i'm going outside to get the meeting started. someone get the geese on the conference call - i think they are currently offsite down at the pond.


sheesh.....

You forgot the bumpy car ride!

And maybe you need to walk her around the hospital, er, farmyard for awhile. OR give her something spicy to eat!

CASTOR OIL!!!

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

i was thinking i'd use one of the feathers from the hens to tickle her... but the hens ran from me.

i'm headed back out to drive her around in the truck - thats bumpy!

Send OD in to goose her.

Don't use castor oil! It makes for a nasty stinky poo
But it does work
At least it worked on my sister

It worked on me too. Drank some the night before and labor started at 7:00am the next morning.
