Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

[Baymule]

I know you did your very best. It is so disheartening to lose babies, much less mamma too. You tried. Darn it, you gave it your all.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Really sorry for the bad start...

I think that I made up for 10 years with no problems. I have kidded out hundreds of kids and have had to help a few that were breach or hiding a leg. I have heard about the headless goats but have never had one, it wasn't fun. And the doe wasn't pushing any more either so those kids weren't moving unless I pulled.

For two days I had her on CMPK, propylene glycol, and slurry of oatmeal, peanut butter, probiotics and molasses. She wasn't eating and she wasn't getting up. After delivery I gave her more CMPK, calcium gluconate, Thiamine, and Banamine. It just wasn't enough.

So sorry

 

[Hens and Roos]

sorry to read about your loss and rough start to your kidding season

 

[farmerjan]

Sorry you had to go through that. Maybe it is better to get the worst out of the way and things will go better. As you said, sometimes you get a rough time after having years of pretty smooth going.

 

[Bruce]

That is a really rough one Babs. I think you likely did well to save the one. Hopefully all remaining kiddings will go smoothly.

So sorry for those losses Babs... what a devastating way to start kidding season in earnest. Hope the rest all go like a breeze for you.
