Goat Whisperer's & SBC's kidding thread: kidding storm

[Southern by choice]

Trouble (mini mancha) had 3 does early yesterday morning!

Yep, the final goats due are in a kidding storm.

Foxy- 1d/1b
Carolina Girl- 2d/1b
Trouble- 3d (2 elf eared and 1 erect eared)
Next-
Clover- due now (145) 4th
Lemon- due (145) 4th
Peanut- due (145) 7th


We will be glad when they are all done!

If anyone is interested we will be listing goats soon. Weaning is coming up (from the earlier kiddings) and we will be placing Standard Lamanchas, Miniature Lamanchas, Dwarfs. We also have some yearling Lamanchas available.

Me! Me! I want them all! Lol I really wish I could come down and purchase another group. I’ll just have to save for spring.

Congrats on the healthy kids and uneventful kiddings!!

Since I know someone else is bound to bring it up, where are the pics??

We are trying to get pics. Not easy though right now. Bottle feeding, up all night, heavy rains, trying to mow and clean, stalls needing changed with all the kiddings and we moved 25 baby goats to different field/buildings. Weighed everyone too. Plus milking and still cleaning up from the shows we are swamped. We did try to get pics. FAIL. We decided we were too tired and this was not fun right now. Several extremely hot days also meant bringing baby goats in the house. Too young and it was too hot.

Totally makes sense!! you get a few dry, cooler days and lots of rest!

Clover and Lemon kidded yesterday!
Will update when we can.

Last one will probably kid today. (Red Hot aka Peanut)
Then we will be done for 2018! What a relief.
Just exhausted. We may milk does through this year and skip some breeding in the fall.

Completely burned out on kids.

Exhausted.

Red Hot aka peanut had ....

QUADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew she was too big for trips, but did not expect quads.

3 Bucks - 2#, 2.5#, 2.2#
1 Doe- 2.5#

Pics when we can

She is a yearling FF and a bit confused, we didn't leave any with her because we knew she'd step on them. We will reunite them today.
Peanut did great.

6 does in the past 5 days. 15 kids.

We are officially done with kidding for 2018
