@D and L Meadows any tips on getting good pics?😂 on a slightly more serious note, do you think if I milk before work, right after work and before I go to bed that it would improve production? I feel like Lillie is drying up even with being milked completely out(to the point I can’t get any even...
@D and L Meadows thanks! Tried getting better pics lol
@rachels.haven yeah my mom named him moose but his actual name is mighty moose😂 mom said he looks like a moose🤷♀️
Yes he definitely thinks he’s a big guy😂
Thank you @rachels.haven !
I am now upto 3.5cups of milk between the two does this morning. Unfortunately when Lillie’s bucklings left before her doeling her production dropped even with me milking her out twice a day so she gives between 1-1.5cups a milking right now. I am getting a dairy goat...
Thanks! Yeah I know the pics are not the greatest😂 right now I’m not planning o keeping both but plans change😁
Sending a link to the website where I got my buck from. It shows Ruth and then Charlie’s full sisters(previous kidding and the one he was born in) and half sisters...
Maple(or mable idk lol) will get better pics on Wednesday when I have an adult to help lol, my niece isn’t the best at it
Marigold^ she was sucking on my finger and I am not left hand dominant for photo taking😂(or anything really lol)
This pic^ cracks me up! She looks so tall, long and skinny😂...
@MiniSilkys lol. Sorry to hear about Dixie, hopefully she is alright. Keep us posted?
@D and L Meadows thanks! I’m not sure, I think my buck may have a tiny one somewhere, planning on shaving all my goats this summer so we shall see! Lol
Well...I now have 3 bottle babies. I’ve been keeping an eye on them and Bella all day and bella’s Udder got increasingly full/tight and she would not let them eat(I even put her on the stand to let them eat and she jumped around and kicked and acted the fool) they are a week old and took right...
@MiniSilkys thanks! I like Mabel!
I’m seriously considering retaining marigold(Goldie) lol we have just clicked and she is just gorgeous (to my eyes) everything seems to just flow together with ease, everything just seems to blend together.
That being said I’m planning on keeping both until...
Photos of the girls this morning (they are currently curled up asleep on my lap😂)
The little buckling is doing really well now, I have him some b-12&selenium gel and he perked up and ended up eating really well for mom while I was at work. Upto 2 ounces
Above two are doelings
Photo shows how little the buckling is! We went ahead and pulled him right away, his temp was 94* at birth😬 got his temp up to 101.5 for 20 mins(without a source of heat) then gave colostrum from Bella and a bit of milk from lillie(milked her this evening)
Bella had triplets!
She had 2 large does and one itty bitty buck.
Buckling weighs in at 1.7lbs
Gold and white doeling weighs 2.10
Buckskin with white and roaning weighs 3.94
One doeling is retained😁
Still no kids, ligs are definitely starting to get harder to find. Hopefully kids tomorrow.
@D and L Meadows that’s interesting about the difference in testers. That makes a ton of sense as far as letting the moms get to know the kids through the fence, the does don’t try to get the kids to...
