I last checked the stable at 7:30 am. At 10:30, as I was putting on my coat, my Border Collie began running wildly back and forth between the barn and the back door. My Nigerian Dwarf had delivered 2 babies. Mother was drying them off when I got there. She assures me her children are doing well and are superior to other children. I will post pictures if I ever locate my phone. Of course, we are in the middle of an ice storm. Fortunately I moved the mother to the stable 2 days ago.
I ended up with 14 lambs this year. With 8 ewes. Only lost one baby lamb. Due to a mother rejecting it. All twins except a yearling had a single.
Dorper ram bred back to Katahdin ewes.
So far since January I’ve had two heifer calves with at least 5 more on the way by july.
sooo my second doe gave birth on thursday. The baby goats look quite interesting. sort of a sandy colour with wavy hair. I was out at a work party. and when i came home i saw two ravens in the goat pen.
Than i noticed two new babys!
So this year i had 3 boys and 2 girls.
One goat had a curled foot which has now corrected itself.
Otherwise they are all healthy.
it is cute to see 5 baby goats in a cuddle puddle.
