[20kidsonhill]

Lovely pictures! Looks like Pippi and Indie are the babysitters for the day! I hope I got those does names right!

Are you referring to the grey doe? That is Tina.

I think she is due Feb 25th, her are some action pictures of her.

"Yes, That was very very useful."

Yep that is who I thought was Pippi! Is Tina Pippi's sister? I think I recall you saying you had Pippi and her sister. They look a lot alike!

Yes, they are full sisters, pippi is golden colored, but otherwise exactly like Tina, they both of those very handsome beards.

I would really like to visit your farm some time. I really enjoy all your posts and pictures. Keep them coming and best wishes with the rest of your does still to kid.

You all would be disappointed to actually come and visit. It isn't that I am changing the photos any, but I leave out some of the unorganized and messy areas of the barn and farm, and right now the house is a mess. The workshop side of the barn is a pigsty.


I do love taking photos, so I am glad you all are enjoying them. and I hope the photos gives some beginners some knowledge and confidence in what to look for with their goats.

We put the stitches back into Lorily, and discussed Lutalysing her to induce labor, so we can time it a little better. so I have a breeding date of Sept 25, so that would be a due date of February 22nd. Assuming that she was for sure bred on that date. That is next wednesday, so We are discussing lutalysing her on This Thursday, So she will kid over the weekend, when we can for sure be available to cut out the stitches.
there is a problem with the plan, She does not have that big of an udder, It isn't close to looking really filled out, She herself looks pretty big. big belly, She has an udder, but it isn't going through those final stages of filling in and tightening.
It was a lot of time and work put into her, to panic and lutalyse her too soon. and loose the kids, because they are too young to survive. Vet felt 7 to 10 days early wouldn't be much of a problem. I have no experience with that sort of thing, I was thinking 5 to 6 days early was probably plenty early.

dancer's one buckling still has a very very weak back leg, so they remain in the post kidding pen, while he strengthens, but both kids are eating well. It is hard to take pictures in those pens, Here is a little preview, He is standing pretty normal in this picture, but the kid with the weak legs is the one closest to mom. Can't really tell in the photo.
