Work continues on the fence posts and is going very well. This machine does not mess about when it comes to knocking posts in and getting them vertical at the same time...very impressive. If you can't borrow one locally I recommend renting one.

Today the vet is coming to do a transfusion of goat plasma into our cria Evita to boost her immune system which isn't as strong as it might be.

Before we do the transfusion we check out Buttercup who is going to California on Thursday having been bought on Monday....



The transfusion goes like clockwork and pretty soon the line is in and the plasma slowly going into her bloodstream while she strolls around the holding pen. Parts of this might have been easier if we had a good solid table to work on. I must keep an eye out for a used table.



The transfer goes well and the cria is on fine form. A shot of Torb kept mum calm while we did the transfer and later that night we removed the bandage from her neck and she looks great. What price peace of mind?
