lol, yeah, the problem is I can't use him on any of the doe I keep. And last thing I need is a another buck! PU!
I pulled the two littlest doe last night. I sat in the pen and watched mom she was going to each one, and snorting and blubbering, and finally tossed the two little ones off to the side. She was sorting them out. So they are now up in the house. The last one born finally took the bottle today (tube feeding is not fun). I've been milking the mom to make sure they got colostrum and now mixing that with whole vit D milk to transition them over. I'll leave the mom alone to care for the other three that seem to be doing ok.
By the way.......... I need name help! The little b&w one is April, she was born first on the first! The buck I'm calling Jester.. How do you guys come up with names? Our farm is Pine Hollow Farm.

My Spanish goats have Spanish names and my commercial goats names vary. Sometimes I let my little nieces name the babies that's how I have a goat name marshmallow, one named princess, one named snowflake, one named cinnamon, and one named smiley. LOL!!!

The twins born this morning, I checked on this afternoon and we had a buck and a doe. Both were completely cleaned off and dry, up walking around, and nursing momma. I will get pics ASAP.

Everyone is doing good, I've had the three with mom outside yesterday... they're so small they walk right through the fence (another oversite to fix this year). the two bottle babies are doing well. I haul them to my mom's every day and she feeds them while I'm at work.
The names are Gaelic
Sorry miss fit about your dogs. Congrats on all the babies and new goats!

My last and over due Doe finally had her kids last night at 7 45 pm, the vet had to come help. she had buck, 1 Doe. The doe is not doing to good have to tube feed her and her legs look funny, she couldn't even stand till this afternoon, and not very well. they both are small but the doe is just TINY!! I'm really worried about her this is the last time I will breed her mother and I really wanted a doe with her personality, well as close as it can get anyway. She has allot of traits I like and was hoping they would get passed along, but I just don't know now. I cant get her body temp up, I have her on a heating pad. does anyone have any ideals that would help my little girl????
