hey baby! hows them goatie babies?

i'm about to run outside again...no new goat on my first pass.. but Debbie was acting funny. last nite her udder was getting tight so maybe today is the day.

and i cant wait to be OUTSIDE even if it is a big mud poop soup out there.

At least Debbie has waited for nice weather.
Mine are almost a week old They are jumping, running, climbing and pip-popping as we speak, er...type. They are super friendly and love to chew denim.
I'm thinking out my milking plan. The mamas have been sleeping outside at night (their choice) so they are pretty full in the mornings. They like to get their breakfast and then they go wake the kids and feed them. I may start milking just one in a few days in the morning if I find I can get my act together that early in the morning. It will be a challenge for me. The girls are producing plenty for all.

edit - wrote pooping instead of popping

Pooping works too!!!

Your goats sound wonderful!!!

I think it's a great idea to start milking one doe in the morning - then you can build up to 2 and so on.

My girls are a week old too and I'm having baby fever again. My little pygmy doe is building an udder FINALLY. If the mounting I saw actually took her 150th day would be 2/22...which is when we might be expecting snow. :/

Who said first fresheners don't give much milk?

I am thinking I'm going to have to go to milking both mine daily already.

 

[glenolam]

Not me....

 

[Javamama]

You got lucky SD

Well the only unlucky thing is Molly is hard to catch and easy to milk and Ginger is easy to catch and hard to milk. I think I'm going to be the "boss goat" and make sure Molly has an attitude adjustment.

I'm thinking I need my cheese making supplies sooner than I expected.

I'm going to have problems with Rory too. I'm starting on her this week. There's a kidding happening at Marestare now - PhoenixRising again.

Gosh I missed all the action online today. Oh well, we had plenty of goat action here at our place.

Are those kids the cutest or what? I have so much fun watching them boing boing boing around. Your big group must be hysterical. I hope you are taking some video.
