Nina - WE HAVE BABIES - LOTS OF PICS

[Queen Mum]

I was just wondering, ThreeBoysChicks. Are you going to be able to handle Nina's delivery? I have this picture stuck in my head of your wife calmly standing by reminding you to breath and dabbing your forehead with a towel, when you start leaping up and down with excitement each time Nina delivers a baby.

She is not going to like me this weekend. I plan to give her a baby cut / trim. Trim her hooves and give her a CDT shot. I don't know if has ever had a CDT shot, so I am going to give her one now and then one in 30 days which will be right before she delivers. After her trim, I plan to do another round of pictures.

Baby cut. She will be fine. CD/T is good. She will love you just the same.

Here is the funny thing. My oldest son is a freshman at Shepherd University. He has informed me that he and 7 of his friends are coming home the weekend after she delivers to see the babies. He was giving my wife and I a warning so that we are preapred to feed them and have places for them to sleep.

Queen - I will be fine. I have been around cows and horses giving bearth. But, I do worry about Nina. That goat is a real lover and I would be really sad if something happened to her. But I am blessed with an excellent Large Animal Vet who knows she is expecting and has never let me down yet when I have had an emergency.

Heya. I know of somebody over by Smithsburg MD that is breeding Nubians. And she has reasonable prices. I was going to buy one of hers before we cut back to smaller goats.

Can you PM me her contact information?

I am really interested in AdoptAPitBulls LaMancha doeling. Need to convince my wife......

Come on by and have a look. Because no one can "just look"...and seriously, I'm getting too attached!!

Our little goat didn't seem to notice her CDT. Was more upset about being restrained. The baby hair cut was a rodeo... still only half done. She forgave me and got over it all pretty quick.

Is she used to eating at the milking stand? I gave my girls their dinner and while they were eating they got their shave jobs. Then the next night while eating they got their CDT and BoSe shots. Neither one of them even lifted their heads up. I have a thread somewhere that has pics of my girls after their trims. It's titled Fanov8's kidding thread. Hope all goes smoothly for you!

She eats her grain in the milk stand all the time.

Nina won't let you down. She will be a perfect mom. You son sounds like you. But maybe he is also looking for a home cooked meal?

You know I'm about 15 min from Shepherd. If that boy needs to feel a touch of 'home life' he can come scoop my barn.
