Right now 5 girls 4 boys
If the other girl had lived would be 6 girls
Fortunato has great ratio now as sire
Counting the people we leased him too and the little girl that didn't make it 7-3 girls
Woo hoo indeed

Moonpies girls are great
Will load pics tomorrow I got a
Few today
3-0 oz
3-2 oz
Solid dark, dark, dark brown almost look black
Not a trace of white not even frosting on the ears
Identical to each other, don't know how to tell apart
I think we will just have to pick one for birth order for the tattoos

So sorry you lost one. We had a very similar birth yesterday. One preemie made it and the other didn't and one full size bouncing buckling!

Are they really premies?
She was full term
She seemed almost like she was premature
Need to talk to our vet friend

Like I said, you can't tell them apart. I know a lot of people like tri-color, but I love my two solid black goats.

I've missed updates on this the past couple of weeks - haven't been getting the alerts. Sounds like a bunch has happened - so congratulations on the good and sorry for the no so good . All those beautiful colors - the gray and black are particularly striking! Also happy to hear you have a better doe ratio this year.

We are pretty darn sure that Moonpies twins are identical twins. I I read that about 1 in 89 goat twins are identical.
Will try to get better pics this weekend.

Zamia is due next. Probably this weekend. Then Coleus a few days after that.

In a bit of a bind
Zamia's udder really bloomed today
And ligs are softened
Don't have an open kidding stall
Had room to build 5 but only got 3 finished
Framed up the 4 th one tonight
Clara Belles have already been moved out on schedule and we had to move Gingers out early
Zamia please wait until tomorrow afternoon
