Anybody got a BIG roll of Gorilla Tape?

Storm coming in and predicted winds of up to 40mph tomorrow and I now have FIVE goats that have lost ligs. 3 have dropped. No mucous and Glennis isn't yelling yet. She lets me know in PLENTY of time, but the others don't.

I want to tape everybody shut till tuesday!

Last storm (last week) had a ewe unexpectedly kid and the next day a goat. This one's supposed to roll through tomorrow and I had lambs born today another ewe that could go anytime, 2 goats that are at 145 days yesterday & today. One has softening ligs...who wants to bet I get a bunch of storm babies in the next 48hrs?

Mine are all looking at me like I'm nuts. Nobody doing anything. LOL Maybe I can get over this headache and get some work done before the wind changes, I hope. I'm right in the middle of a major project that does not need to get rained on but couldn't be finished in one or two days either.
