Mocha's baby is still hanging in there. He is alert, active and eagerly taking a bottle. He still can't stand but is now sitting up well. He weighed 2 lbs 13 oz. In comparison, Brownie's triplets weighed 7.5 lbs, 6.5 lbs and 6.5 lbs.

My records indicate I witnessed Mocha being bred on September 1st. That makes him a 135 gestation birth.

Glad to hear he is hanging in there hope he continues to make progress!

Wow that's a big size difference, no wonder the little one is feeling so weak. Hoping for the best!

The little guy is doing as well as can be expected. As long as I can keep him warm and stave off illness the first month or so he may pull through. Preemie baby goats are tough. Thankfully the brown and white doe nursing a single has plenty of milk. She provided colostrum and is now providing milk, via a bottle.

Here is the little guy. I call him Quark.

Mocha is taking good care of him, even if she has no milk.

Here is Brownie and her triplets. Two does and a buck.

The no name brown and white doe's buck kid. He weighed 8.5 lbs!

They are all so cute…but little Quark is adorable! Looks like a fighter and it sounds like he has great care!

Gosh they are cute! I really hope that little guy will be okay! I bet you can save him I didn't know that they could live being born that early. Mocha is such a good girl! I thought she would reject him for sure!

Congrats on the other babies!!!!
