That is great that the birthings are going so well. Hopefully the rest will be like that for you. Congratulations!

 

[FarmerChick]

thanks


so glad they were in kidding pens last night---had a monsoon rain storm with super high winds. at least everyone was dry!


today the wind is drying out tons of mush and mud out there..lol

Darn

the 2 kids from the oldest 9 year old goat---passed in the night.

both croaked

both were nursing and on their feet at about 10 pm last time I checked. UGH



oh well


if that is my worst then I did well on this group kidding out.........still waiting for more to kid out now.

 

[freemotion]

Do you know why? Or is this just one of the mysteries of goats?

 

[FarmerChick]

no they seemed "fine" seriously

I relate it too------a 65 year old mom giving birth......chances are somethign will be wrong ya know...........and this goat had smaller kids than normal, but seemed fine but who knows what goes on inside in a flash to kill them?????

ugh

she will not be bred this year and that is a fact. I guess she won't last the summer....she has "that look ya know" I was super surprised she had kids.

And I won't cull her.......yup the old "I like her too much" kicked in..HAHA
