OMIGAWD!!! Are you serious! Where in Ohio would he be!
Bowling Green I think
Yeah I'm serious
But if it were me I'd probably want Taffys if I were you

Well they aren't going any where any time soon
So let's see what they look like in a few weeks
My theory is I'd rather give a nice buckling to a show family in another state than wether them
If they do well for you probably worth more to me in the long run
Or maybe that's why I'm not making money as a goat farmer

Haha my MIL made a remark about us making a killing on goats.
I gently told her that couldn't be further from the truth. Worth it to us though.

And since I am going to be showing my bucks, your name might just POP out there in ring. Well I'm on board! Whenever your friends are ready to travel, we will be there. THANK YOU!!!!

So, the littlest quad doeling was clearly "off" Friday evening, and as I told someone with one that small and young, "off" can quickly become "dead".
The weather turned nasty on Friday, in the 70's and sunny on Thursday and raining, windy, and 40 degrees Friday.
I think that played a part.
And, we figured out she just wasn't getting enough to eat.
So, Friday evening we got her to take a little bit in a bottle. Her little butt was kind of wet so we gave her some scour halt (spectromycin) and some pepto.
We thought about bringing her in the house, but by 1am she was sleeping soundly and cozy with her siblings.
So, Saturday we separated the two biggest kids and put them in another stall. They will both take a bottle enthusiastically, and left the two littlest ones with Mom.
Even the second smallest one seems a lot stronger than her.
She is doing better. She is nursing good, and peeing and pooping, but I still wouldn't say she is out of the woods yet. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.
This is her and the other little buckling.
And here's the two larger ones.

Glad they are all still doing well.
They are really a beautiful group!
I understand why you are keeping so many this year, not only are you able to really build your line but have the space to do so and can really see what you are liking with the breeding line ups!
Got to be very exciting for you all!
We did bring in our little quad girl that is teeny tiny when it went down to 24 the other night. A sweater couldn't keep her warm. Downside to this bottle feeding thing. They don't have momma![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")

So, Fat Clare Belle is definitely not fat anymore. She has done a fantastic job as a first freshener raising two very healthy bucklings.
So, I never got any really good pictures of Cookie's doeling because of the little tiny one that didn't make it. But, she is really pretty and super friendly unlike her mom.
Moonpie is a first freshener too who was the runt of quads herself. But, she had two 3lb twins and has done a great job with them too. Keeping her condition up pretty well too.
These are the "identical" twins. And I tell you sometimes they look dark brown, sometimes black. Either way they are beautiful.
