Oh man, I've never milked lolli until tonight. It was glorious! Compared to lilli, who fights you the entire time and has teats so small its like milking a cat lol. We had to milk lollis one side out since her udder was 2x the size of the other, Just like lillis kids, hers are only nursing from one side. Well I just milked enough to make both sides even...well I was expecting to maybe get a quart. I got a half gallon!! She is going to be a great milker, that's for sure!!

I milk her out once a day to keep her production up. Not seperating kids yet. Lillis kids arent even gettign seperated yet at 3 weeks. I will prob start seperating at 5 weeks at night, milk in morning and then put them together for the day. They have been eating grain since they were 2 days old. And are eating both grain and hay regularly. Lollis kids are eating grain, too. But not regularly like lillis kdis.

hey guys..me again....so lilli got pregnant AGAIN. by Lollis son. Did not realize they could breed at 4 weeks!! Pesky little bucks. Anyway, she is starting early labor. But had mucus in her poop. like the last few berries were strung by it and it took until she peed after to get that poop off. Is this a good sign or bad sign? This didnt happen last time. Thank you!

I wouldn't worry about the goo in the poop, hope it all goes well.

ETA, at least I wouldn't worry about it affecting delivery. She could need to be wormed and something to look at after the kids are born as kidding can cause a parasite bloom.
