Latestarter's 2019 kidding

[Bruce]

Is yours a full face version? Mine is just nose and mouth.

My left hand and wrist are not working well at the moment. I spent all day when not occupied with ice packs on both. Generally there's a breeze and it doesn't bother me. Despite my physical limitations, I HAD to get this done... The twin does were/are already over 2 weeks old and they were beyond nub and had actual horn starting. The buckling was even bigger, and he's only a week and a half old. Despite just the start of nubs on the youngest doeling, I already had the iron hot and couldn't see going through the whole deal again in a few days more. I too do the deep breath and blow method, but my lungs aint what they once was. I also was wearing reading glasses and had to be relatively close to see exactly what I was doing and make sure it was done properly.

Sorry, no new pics right now. Tomorrow is supposed to be plenty of sun so I'll try to go capture a few frames. These 4 are bouncing all over the pen and pasture. Even the youngest is now moving with her mother. She can get in and out of the shelter and enclosures.

Were we not promised pictures?....or at least had the word pictures mentioned

 

[Latestarter]

So sorry... indeed I have been remiss. I will attempt to seek a temporary pass due to non working appendages. The weather hasn't exactly been great for pics either - cold and gray with damp.

Pass granted as long as necessary! Any new kids in the offing?

 

[misfitmorgan]

This once I suppose we could let it go on the grounds of peer guilt....as in your peers are guilty of the same offense

Pass granted as long as necessary! Any new kids in the offing?

I sincerely hope there are no new kids in the offing!!

 

[Bruce]

Well, none sired by LS! But kids from his goats!

 

[Latestarter]

I don't "expect" any in the near term... the remaining 2 yearlings don't "appear" to be pregnant... So really, I'm hoping to get past the coldest period of the year; February, and into the warmer spring period of mid-late March before any more kids make an appearance. Dot is so wide, and April is looking like a tank again. Dot is due 3/15 and April & CB on 3/19. Bang is obviously pregnant and is due ~3/29 and last should be CC around 4/5

 

[Bruce]

Plenty of time then for your body to heal first!
