She isn't very comfortable the last day when her udder goes "boom" It is really just the last 12 hours or so that her udder really gets bad, Then the first few days that she is nursing. She only had one live kid last year, and did really well with her, I milked out the bad side for a couple days. I have only had her since October of 2012, I knew when I purchased her that her udder was bad. I felt I was up to the challenge, since I had another doe that had equally as bad an udder, I have some does in the herd from her still and their udders have not done this, so i am holding out hope that it was poor management and not genetics.ThreeBoysChicks said:

Here are the little girls from Aunt B. I haven't weighed them, but maybe 7 1/2 lbs each. Both does are a 1x1 functional and a 1x1 non-functional with a lot of spacing in between the functional and nonfunctional teat.
The two together at 3 hours old.
one of them by the bad teat. At this point I should mention if it was january and about 15 degrees, I wouldn't be real happy with Aunt B. My husband wants me to have this be her last year since we could add the does to our herd in her place.
Okay, the rest of these pictures are all of the same doeling, I love her markings.

Oh the babies are so cute! Is the one black and white or just really dark like mom? Love the black circle around the eye. And I have to say, in the close pic of Aunt B, I love her head, so classic and she looks like a sweetheart.

They are a dark brown with some black mixed in. Prooved it had a couple kids like that, they end up looking a really dark chocolate brown.SDBoerGoats said:
I bottle fed the kids this evening to make sure they both had enough to eat. And we will start again in the morning working on her udder. We are going to keep offering the one kid a couple bottles a day, so if we have to pull her and give up on the bad side she will hopefully transition to a bottle. The bad side appears to have possible tissue damage, maybe from a bad case of mastitis in her history. I didn't have any problems with mastitis last year with her, but since she had a single I didn't have to deal with a kid nursing on that side.
I love that classic look, She is from an older boer bloodline and not the newer show doe lines.
RPC: I agree about seeing them in a few weeks, they look a little flimsy right now, but I think they will fill out. But time will tell.
Thanks MIssy and SDboergoats.

news on the farm.
We are getting our worm/parasite problem under control. More about that under diseases.
We sold Aunt B's bottle Baby, of course, I still get to bottle feed her for 2 to 3 more weeks, they aren't ready to take her homel. But they did offer to come bottle feed her at our farm whenever we need them too, if we have plans or are going to be gone. THey are a nice family, with home schooled children. The girl wants to learn about goats and train one of them to pull a small cart. We will keep the other doe from Aunt B.
Big News is Daisy is close to kidding. She is due on Satuday, 150 days, but we are inducing her on Wednesday morning. So we are hoping for kids on Thursday from her.
She is HUGE I was going to take pictures, but didn't get a chance today, so hopefully it will stop raining and I can get some Tomorrow(Tuesday). Did I mention she is HUGE>
Like as in Giganitic. I know that isn't fair, to tell you all that and not post pictures. I have 2 people asking for a buck from her and I sure want a doeling. So At this point 2 of each would be great. And if I could request 1x1 teated, that would be fantastic.
