Just for fun, here's a side by side comparison of Angelica the super goat mom before and after giving birth to SEVEN kids!!

Quite the litter.

That poor thing. One thing that's hard about nigerians, all those multiples! I wonder if she needed help. That's a lot of little legs to get tangled in there.

Holy cow!

I sold a pregnant goat once - about a hundred years ago - and she had 6 - 5 survived. The people that bought her from me called me to tell me she had twins....then they called and said she had trips...and then they called and said she had quads...and then they called and said quints...and then they called and said she was finished. But, she wasn't.... They lost the last one because she was born in the sac and they thought it was the placenta.... argh!

FEM.. Were you relieved or disappointed that you sold her?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Relieved, lol!

Is that why you won't sell pregnant goats anymore? Lol

I was actually very happy that I sold that goat pregnant, lol. Who wants that many kids...Yikes!

But, the real reason I don't sell pregnant goats, at least first timers, is that I'm afraid they'll have a problem, or somebody won't take good care of the newborns... I'm such a sucker...
