Now go to sleep. And then get us pictures! I have read several studies that mastitis is much more common than thought because of the belief they get sick if they have it. I will have to dig up one of those articles and get the details...

Family went to church, I am home on kidding watch and tending to the new borns. Got 8 ounces total of some milk I had in the freezer from last kiding season into Peaches twins. The doe was very hungry, the buckling more interested in nursing and annoyed at me. Still no milk on the one side of the udder, Not hot, not swollen, just no milk. 
Everyone is doing well this mornign. little worried about Pepper not passign her afterbirth, I am going to go out and give her some oxytocin. Husband of course not worried about it at all and doesn't think it is a big deal.
But overall, we have 6 lives kids, 2 does and 4 bucklings.
And yes, Bonbean1, I am very very
I don't do well on less than 8 hours and I certainly didn't get that. I slept 3 hours, and went back out to the barn for while and then slep 2 hours.
Here are some photos. You can tell as the night went on the does got less photos sessions. LOL
Continueing with Haley, First to arrive was a really nice doe.
She spent quite a while working on the second one, at least 45 min. to an hour.
Over to the side are some does sleeping and eating and one of the barn cats. Every now and then one of the does would stick her head over Haley's pen to see what was going on. That always humors me. At this point I am thinking, this should get things going with the other girls, All those cute little baby cries.
And there he is after some really hard pushign a big buckling. Haven't weighed him, but probably 10 lbs.
and then over in this corner, I new Peaches was looking like she was concentrating, And with a few pushes a buckling is born.
Okay, at this point I hear an odd moaning sound from behind me and this is what I see. I thiink to myself. That is odd, but pepper isn't due for 3 or 4 more days. Well that is when she would be 152 days. So I go back to paying attention to peaches, and wondering if it could be possible that Pepper could be in early labor. Pepper is laying down with her head on her mom, Indie. Indie is due in a couple days.
And with a little more pushing, Peaches has a doeling. Yes, the buckling is looking not so good. This did not go unnoticed. and I hurried after the doelign was born to move them into a kidding pen with a warming barrel, it took the buckling a couple hours before he could stand. But once he got going he was fine.
Over hear on this end of the barn, I see the first signs of an actual contraction and a small push from pepper. And realize she is forsure in labor.
This is Haley's Doeling enjoying the warming barrel.
Peaches twins getting warmed up and dried off. Sorry not the best photo.
And, this is the point were I am getting tired, It is now 1 am and Haley started at 4Pm. So hear is pepper with her twin bucklings. They aren't real big, maybe 7 lbs each, Not sure what is up with that. Although she did kid a couple days early.

Congratulations on the really, really cute babies! How exciting! The pictures are wonderful and I know everyone is enjoying them to no end! Kidding is so blasted exciting! Just love it! Hope more pictures are to follow in the ensuing days of all these kids and the new ones yet to come! Can't wait! Does the desire for wanting more and more kids ever go away? As one of the other members told me, just like potato chips, 1 isn't enough! How addicting! Thanks for all the hard work!

I don't think it goes away, I keep asking my husband for more land. He knows more land means more goats, He looks at them more like x4, Another words for every goat there are 4 more hooves to trim. What a party pooper.madcow said:
I suspect we will have more photos.
Star should be at day 152,
Tori is at day 151,
well Pepper would be at day 150 today, looks like she kidded on day 149, and
Indie is on day 150,
Annie Day 149
Little B day 149
Macy day 148
Hot Mamma Day 147
I don't have any due dates written down for Nova and Fuzzball
So that is 9 more does in the next 6 days. Should be busy. They are kept with the buck for 45 days, so it is possible, I saw someone in heat and then they rebred 21 days later. It can be hard to always tell how far along they are. That is the first group of them, there are a couple smaller groups after that, 4 due beginning of February and 4 or 5 due end of march.
