Jodief100--- random stuff and BIG news

I will take her for a wlak tonight. It is supposed to snow but I think a little walk will be good for her.

Nissan's Rusty is a pistol! I have never had a baby goat so difficult to drench! She kicks, she screams, she yanks her head back and forth. This morning I sat on her and I still had trouble. I like her spirit but boy is she a handfull. I just adore her. I guess I am a glutton for punishment.

Good news! I came home and Fat Girl was eating hay and her grain was half gone.

Bad news, her doeling was dead. Please do not tell me all the things I should have done. I am feeling very guilty right now. I was feeling bellies several times a day, they were always full or at least partially. I thought they were all getting enough to eat but I guess I was wrong.

I tried to graft one of the survivor's onto Broken Horn with the vicks vapo rub trick and she nearly killed him tossing him with her horns so he went back with Fat Girl. The boys both have full, tight bellies. I suspect that Fat Girl wasn't standing long enough for all three of them to fill up and since she was the smallest she got the least.

Good News! Patches kidded with twins, boy and a girl. They are the cutest things! The boy has spots! Pics later, I have barn chores to do.

So I will cry a little and then celebrate because life does go on.

I think you did what you thought was right. Things happens. Don't beat yourself up. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Sorry you lost Fat Girl's kid.

Nissan's very first kid was a doe, we called her PP for "pissy pants"...she was into EVERYTHING and we sold her quick before we could fall in love....then she never had another girl for us.

Here are Peaches babies. These are purebred kikos and can be registered as such.

She has big patches on her head and butt. She also has little socks on some legs. Her ears stick out straight sideways.

I didn't get many good shots of the boy, it is dark but you can see his spots. He has two black spots on his butt, one on the back of his neck, another on the top of his head and one on one leg.

Congrats on the new babies. I almost had the same problem with my triplets not my poor little one is trying to catch up but is atleast 10 pounds behind her sister. Good luck with everyone else. Those Kikos sure can spit out some color can't they.
