I have a week old kid that I am bottle feeding. I have been feeding it the last 5 days on milk replacer. The first couple of days I used the mom's milk. The kid did poop the first few days. The kid goes outside during the day and I put it in a crate at night. The last three nights there has been...
I've got 4 more in the next month that should kid. They are all first timers. It's so hard to tell with them. The first picture in the original post, I didn't know she was that close to kidding. I went out to the pasture one day, and there she was with a kid.
Hopefully she'll have them soon. I thought mine would of had there kids last week.

Well the black headed girl had twin doe kids around 4:30 this afternoon. As of this evening I'm not sure if the have eaten or not yet. I milked her around 10 and tried to offer a bottle to the new kids, but they didn't seem to interested, so hopefully they have eaten. If not, they should be...
Neither one had kidded yet. However, the red head's daughter from last January had her first kid today. She had a single doeling.
I think I had another one kid last night. You're probably asking how do you not know. My wife checked them for me last night. She counted all of them, but one looked...
I've had goats for two years, but more just for a hobby. Raise 'em and sale 'em. Well my daughter has a show goat and we are going to show for the first time this year. What do you feed your show wethers?
We had our first show yesterday. I knew we had not been exercising him enough, but my...
Need advice for an infection. We got my daughter's show goat in September. He is a June kid and had his horns when we got him. We cut them at the end of October, not all the way down, left about an inch. Of course over the last few months they have grown back. We've kept him here at the house...
Well here comes a week or so of bottle feeding. I went out at noon today and they had not eaten. The girl's teat was still plugged. Got several ounces out of her. The kids have trouble eating out of her because her teats are so low to the ground. They were trying just not close enough. I had to...
They are here! She only had two. One buck, black head, and one doe, red head. The doe is nice sized. Hopefully I can get better pictures tomorrow when we have some day light. I was going to sale all the kids this season, but I may have to keep the girl.
