I've actually found a Nubian buckling, solid brown with solid ears, within an hour drive of me with Foxwood and Backcountry lines. His dam has a nice udder (in my semi-uneducated opinion) and he can be ADGA registered. I have a chance to go see him and the rest of her herd this weekend, so I'll...

My gracious! Bless your heart! :hugs

Is the kid with the doe? Then, I wouldn't worry about bottle feeding unless the kid is not getting enough milk. I've never heard of giving a doe molasses water. She doesn't look thin from the pictures, but if she needs some extra energy stop by the feed store and get a bottle of nutridench and...

Plan for this year: 1. Downsize our herd of Boers, but keep 3 does 2. Pd deposit on 2 LaMancha Doelings due to be kidded in April 3. Get Nubian buck to breed them to I like the looks of a Nubian/Boer and a Nubian/LaMancha cross. This will give our Boers some more "hybrid vigor" along with...

Handsome boy! :love Somebody's lucky to get him.

Rosey kidded a BIG single doeling around 11:45. She's traditional with a big white blaze and a couple of brown feet, which is about what we expected. I thought for a minute there I was going to have to give her an appeasiatomy to help get the kid out. Her poor girl parts were stretched so tight...

Rosey is in labor this morning. She's the last doe I had due, so the very last kids for me this year. :weee After the issues I had with Echo's kids, I'm going to stick around here with her this morning until I know she has kidded and is ok.

If you can see her hip bones, it shouldn't be much longer!

I purchased a $40 Wahl pet grooming clipper set and it is a piece of crap. It won't cut hardly anything. What type of clippers do you use? It will be a while before I can use them, but I need them to trim Great Pyrenees in the summer and goats before kidding.

We don't shave ours, but we do trim their tails. It keep everything from looking really nasty after kidding.

I promised myself I wouldn't cry. It's not working. I would like to thank everybody for their wonderful help. I would have been totally lost without you.

Sometime between 4 and 5 pm, he died.

Look at those pretty thangs! Congrats! :clap

I left him with a baby sitter today (my sister). She got him to drink about 1/2 of a baby bottle of milk around lunch today. His breathing has not changed, but his suckling reflex has returned. I had to get out of the house today before I went totally crazy, so I went on into work. I'm at a...

Wait... could this be it? "Meconium (muh-CO-nee-um) is the thick, sticky, tarry appearing fetal stool that is passed in following birth and sometimes for a full day after birth (and sometimes before birth). It is the digested residue of swallowed amniotic fluid, which contains fetal skin and...
