Pearce Pastures Spring 2015 Kidding Thread: BLUEBELL is in LABOR!

[Pearce Pastures]

Our first kids have arrived and Nova gave exactly what we were wanting (which NEVER happens). We wanted a buck out of her and had requests for another buck and doe. TADA!

She did really well for the most part. The first buck was a bit tangled and came out backwards, one leg forward and the other back. Then the doeling had to have her snout tipped up because she was sort of lodged crown first. Third came out without any fuss at all. There was a fourth waterbag and sac but it was empty.

Pics below. Plus a shot of Nova seriously FLIRTING with out buck while she was in labor. Wow.

I do love black and white goats. Who am I kidding...I like all of them.

On my way now to check on our next candidate: Lily. She is our pet pygmy. Wonderfully smart and I could never part with her even though she has no real purpose on the farm other than to let me love on her. She is HUGE. We had a visitor yesterday who saw her and just bust out laughing. I should take a tape measure to her. I am betting she is 3 feet wide and on 1.5 feet tall.

No progress yet. She and one other are due but I am quite suspicious of the other's pregnancy status. Pumpkin looks a bit pregnant (larger in the middle than normal, swollen lady parts, being very moody) but she has no udder build. She has a week maybe before I would say no go, but we will see.

THREE YEARS IN A ROW!! THREE!!!! I checked Lily at 7 this morning-nada, udder not full, just chewing hay. I checked her at 1, just before I ran to the store with my kids-nada.

I come back at 3 and BAM, there are triplets in the pen. Are you kidding me Lily! I mean, I am glad she doesn't need me at all but I never get to see her birth. She is sneaky!

Girl #1 Red and white, looks just like her daddy.
Girl #2 Gray Agouti, very cute and love that coloring.
Boy #1 Light red and white, white frosting
