Well I have had three bucks breed one doe in less than a minute so 5 does in a morning sounds about right. They are certainly opportunist. Just watch, these kids will be gorgeous and you will be telling him "thank you". ;)

Who sired Raven's and Pearl's kids? I know Blondie's were sired by Valiant...
How is Dee?

So Maurine and I have been talking about things and Clarabelle's kids that were bred accidentally are just to valuable to leave things to chance
One of them we call mini me because she looks like her moms clone and now that they are getting udders its even more noticeable
We are going to take them to the vet school next week for an evaluation and will probably take them back when they kid just in case

When will they be due? Hoping for small enough babies for an uneventful and safe kidding!
Do you think they will be able to tell how many they are having with ultrasound?

If if happened on Nov 3rd they would be due end of March
Cole couldn't tell how many but I'm wondering if the vet school.can that's why we are going to take them
And then we may take them back when they are due and induce them
That way if there is a problem they will already be there
C section is $350 :(

On the up side, the Nigerians really are champions when it comes to kidding and making it through.Amazingly hardy little goats.
Hoping all goes well! I can deal with losing a kid, but the dam is always our priority too.
