All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description

Do you need a little goat pajama party? I do! It is hard not to smile watching week old goats frolic in sunflower pjs!

Years ago Stella Hamilton kindly designed and sent us the pattern for goat pajamas, specially sized for Nigerian Dwarf goats when they are first born. When goats are born they need to keep their body temperature up to keep their sucking reflex going and be able to nurse. This is especially essential in the first few hours so that they can get plenty of their dam's first milk (colostrum). While humans get some immunity from their mom's placenta while in the womb, goats get no immunity in advance and get it entirely from the first milk in their first days of life. So farmers can use heat lamps, warming areas, coats, sweaters or pajamas to keep newborn livestock warm on nights when temps fall below freezing. Most of the time their mother does a great job keeping them warm all on her own. But we have been thankful on occasion to have options to assist in keeping their body temperature up. Since that first gift from Stella, many others have gifted the goats coats and sweaters and pjs! (Jill Hanson, Mary Ellen Doyle, Marian Starkey, Paula Kuzontkoski and many others!) And since we have quite a collection, now we sometimes break them out just for fun! This was one of those times! This video Made By Harry Hods when he stopped by recently seemed like the perfect way to thank you all.
