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

[Southern by choice]

Trying to figure out what you do different than me.

How many grams of poop do you do? (I have done 2)

The vet and another recourse told me to add up both chambers and multiply by 50.

4 grams of fecal and 26ml of solution.
Multiply by 25
If you are only using 2 grams multiply by 50.

Like GW said- if you are using 2 grams poop then your solution is 28ml and multiply by 50.

So above Boots had 2 total eggs on combined chambers
2 x 25 (the nultiplier based on 4g poo/26ml sol) = 50 EPG

How much solution are you using? Grams poo?

Trouble was bred to Gordy today! For f-2's
These will be 2nd generation Grade so they are able to be registered with MDGA as 2nd gen grade.

Trouble was in raging heat again on 11/10
Bred to the same buck. Hopefully she settles this time around

, we are waiting for does to come into heat yet and hopefully once bred no one comes back into heat!

Forgive me if it was mentioned elsewhere, but did you/are you guys breeding Leah?

Sure did! It was a repeat breeding, we used the same buck as last year- Lil Joe.

She is due in February I believe (need to check my notes). She is already getting a baby belly. It will be interesting to see how many she will have, first kidding she had 4 and the second she had 5.

Remember Bunny? She is doing great! Saw her a few weeks ago and she is just as sweet They adore her. I'm glad they've kept in touch.

ETA: I just recently placed Flint, Bunny's brother. The lady wanted him for a long long time and she finally has him! We are good friends and I will probably use him in a few years. The other sibling has sired several kids so far and has turned out lovely!

Awesome! Leah is quite the doe, can't wait to see what she gives you Bunny is so cute, its awesome you got to see her. Have/will her new owners breed her, I would be curious to see if she is as prolific as Leah.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

They haven't bred her yet. They will probably use Lil Joe when they are ready.
She is probably ok to breed now, but they are in the process of moving so it will be a bit.

She has a high probability of having big litters like Leah. Leah was a triplet, Leah's dam was a quad and had big litters often.

I personally would be fine with twins. Big litters are scary, those kids get tangled easily. I did warn them about the possibility of complications and told them that they need to be prepared to assist and/or have a vet out.
