We sold our goats and ducks and house and garden beds on our suburban plot, moved halfway across the country, and are now establishing a new place on 5 acres, a long-held dream. We've been here just over a year and we're still working on clearing land and establishing infrastructure. Got a flock...

Thanks - I do think maybe, being the only male back there, he's responding to heat. Whew. Banding seemed to go well. I think the last couple of guys I wethered I sold earlier on, so never saw them over time to know what is in the world of normal behavior. I appreciate the help!

Rufio, 15 weeks old now, was wethered at 7 1/2 weeks by banding. His banded area has fallen off and I can't palpate any testes in that area - it is flat and soft. However, he spends all his time trying to mount the females. His voice is lower. He extends and pees on himself and licks it. This...

Adorable batch of babies! Love the shot of all of them together.

My two Nigerians like attention usually, but NOT snuggly attention. More like, "Scratch right there, human. A little to the left" sort of attention. Each one, though, wanted hugs and snuggles and to cozy up and lick me the day they went into labor (separate days). One of them wanted to labor in...

:hugs Hope you get some well-earned rest. Congratulations on all the wee hooves on the ground!

Congratulations, they're so very sweet :love

:pop Oh boy! That's coming right up now!

Each of my FF's had singles. One of the mamas came from a litter of four, one from a litter of triplets. I still wonder if I had given Bo-Se before breeding if they'd have had more.

I got a 3 pack of perfect small stainless steel cups in the kitchen aisle at some discount place - Ross, Marshall's, like that for less than $5. I've since seen several good deals like that in restaurant supply stores and such.

Wow, no way! How did that tiny mama do that?!!? I was holding my breath just reading that. Hope you can both get some good rest!

WHAT a little cutie! She's adorable :love

Oh gosh, you poor thing :hugs. Well, here's hoping that if you HAVE to have the flu, you'll have the 24 hour one that's going around our neck of the woods :fl. But better yet, hope she lets you have a good night sleep, and that you can head it off at the pass.

Just adorable, whatever their gender ;). I'm curious: did you give prenatal Bo-Se? I recently read (maybe even here) that giving prenatal Bo-Se can help the odds of having multiples, and both of mine just freshened with singles. Good job, Katie!

One thing I noticed, too, with my ff's is that with all the long fluffy hair I couldn't see the udder development that was happening. When I did a pre-birth shave I was startled at the udders that were there, although there wasn't much to speak of until a couple of days before delivery.

Wow. That was an instructive story, thanks so much for taking the time to tell it. Congratulations on the healthy doe, and hoping Explosive comes out of it happy and healthy - a relief that it wasn't a prolapse!

:ep I need a nap just reading that!

seriously adorable! And wouldn't you just know mama birthed in the mud . . . goats!!! :rolleyes:

Could some of you who have been around the milking block a few times answer this one, for us newbies? I see variations of these two questions asked a lot. But please just answer for your very average doe. Not that one that is on ADGA's top ten producer list or won "Supreme Best Udder" at last...

:caf Healthy kidding :fl
