My newest addition 2/26 from a first freshener. It appears one of my bucks, Fire, likes to throw black does which is cool by me. I only hope she turns out as nice as her half-sister from last year.

Half-sister latte at 7 months

@Wehner Homestead CeCe is going to have a baby sister (hopefully!)!

Thanks B&B... She is huge for sure. The most we've had is quints. I'm thinking triplets or quads for Ruthie.

Thanks Mike! The girls sold today and will be picked up over the next few weeks.

CeCe gets a sister!

I'm going to have to quit watching this thread or I might start thinking about getting goats again.

I hope you don't live anywhere near me. It supposed to be brutally cold Sunday Monday Tuesday.
hopefully she has more than one instead of those big hard to birth singles.

Oh dear Ruthie. Poor girl. How old is she again? My Izzy is at day 145 tomorrow. She started some discharge yesterday. It is going to be cold again here for the next week. I have the best lamp ready. I have a poll on my thread to try and guess when she will kid.

You might make a heat Barrel I use them. you get one of those plastic drums preferably one that has a removable lid and ring and you attach box for an electrical fixture and put a ceramic fixture there don't forget the little silver part that fills the holes and acts as a clamp and what I do is I take an extension cord cut one end off and hardwired into the ceramic fixture so you have to put like a quarter-size hole in the in the lid next to where you have the box and go down through it that way there's no chance of anything catching fire even if it was to fall over of course I go ahead and strap mine to the walls. (125w heat bulb)
I'm making a larger one out of one of those 275 gallon liquid totes pulled the towed out cut a hole in it and put the fixture in the top so that more than can get in it. I also like the microwavable pet pads. On the really cold nights I put those in the barrels to or I put them in between the jars in my caprine feeder bucket to keep the milk from getting too cold.
