Almond Joy's Kidding Thread~She Had A Doe= Update Page 4 WITH PICS!

[Dreaming Of Goats]

She kidded today, of course, Mother's Day
She had a beautiful single doeling that's so friendly. Once I got the call, I immediately drove over with my dad to go see her I fed her about a whole beer bottle (with a nipple, of course,) of colostrum from Joy. The owner says she has a great udder and amazing teats for a first freshener, so she should do well this year in the show ring! We dipped the doeling's umbilical cord in iodine, and I held her for about the whole three ours I was there. I've narrowed the names down to Caramel, Snickers, and Twinkie.
Here are the pictures! And btw she is a purebred obie!

Congrats to you and Almond Joy! so glad you got a doe!

I also had a kid born today but it's a buck. I had one born last night too, another buck but he has blue eyes

Beautiful! I vote for Snickers!

I saw! The farm I lease from has had 3 bucks and I think 8 does! Great ratio so far!

Yes, I believe she is around 10-11 lbs, but I'll weigh her when I go to the farm on Friday!

And she ate the afterbirth

Okay first, I have to say that with her coloration I would name her either Twix or Tagalong... I just see caramel or peanut butter cookie with chocolate dizzle.

Second, if her mom ate the afterbirth... the amount of nutrients that the does get from that is incredible! It is the same with dogs and cats. I have been curious as to why people on here tend to be squeamish or disapproving of allowing the doe to do what comes natural to her... with dogs and cats people are encouraged to get the mother to eat it.
Can anyone clue me into why it is not an encouraged thing with goats?
