Add to #10:

But only ONE doeling during your lifetime- the rest should all be boys.

#12: Wait for the lights and heat lamps in the barn to go out- it is always better to kid during a power outage. Barring this, try for an ice storm.

#13: When someone comes to check on one of your herdmates, jump on them and knock the flashlight out of thier hand. Then make them drop all the kidding supplies. Done perfectly, your owner will be crawling around on the barn floor, in the dark. Then all goats need to climb on them looking for treats in thier pockets. Take this opportunity to pee, in thier shoe if possible.

For the record, folks, I didn't write this, I found it years ago....But....I swear my goats wrote it, got it published, and spread the word to your herds.

My older doe is currently in the process of demonstrating nearly EVERY one of these rules.

You know, I don't think my goats have gotten wind of this yet...They usually kid the day I think they are going to kid (when they are actually pregnant that is hehe)...

Seriously, you guys should keep this to yourselves!! :lol:
