We have had our new mamma and babies in the stall during the really hot part of the day. She is the herd queen and is butting the other adult doe for existing these days. She has rammed hard enough to break the skin somehow. Or she's cut the top of her head. I know we're not supposed to...
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! Cali was beautiful, and I'm sure the buckling was too. I hope that Momma and Maude have easy deliveries for you!:hugs
Both of my Nigerian does are in condition. The one who had triplets was given a cup of Maximum Goat in the a.m. and p.m. for the last 2...

I also discovered in my noobness that B-1 is a buckling on Day 3!
Sadly I cannot keep the boys unless I wether them. My other doe is...
Chelsea:
Isn't she beautiful?! She looks very satisfied. I love your pasture, too. One of the 3 states I've not been to, I always heard how pretty Washington is. Now, I know...we're waiting for the kid games to begin!!
On your head? That's these 3 today! I'm afraid one is going to launch into the hayrack or the hanging water bucket. My head IS a target, luckily I'm tall!
Wow, they're fast, too. Boogity, boogity around the yard. Had no idea they could be so speedy at 5 days old!
Speaking of which, what is the...
Wow! She does look like Ali..pretty color!
