Hopefully the happiness of the babies doing well will carry you over the sad time of losing the grown doe. I'm so sorry. You need some rest and attention to yourself so you can help those babies be healthy and cared for.

What a rough day. I am so sorry for the loss of the alpine, and I hope the babies and mom keep getting stronger!

i know nothing about goats (except i'm getting some fairly soon) and i'm just cruising trying to learn from y'all - but i have to say - wow! what a day. so glad you were able to save the one mama & her two kids. that's remarkable. really sorry you lost the other.

This is the little girl from the newest set of twins. Her Name is Saturn which seems to be a common name for babies born around that time of the storm.

Having a hard time getting Neptunes ( her Brother) to load, but will keep working on it.


Neptune the buckling is now a bottle baby. The mom just did not like him. She would not let him nurse at all and in turn was not really letting Saturn nurse . She would try to get away from Neptune and Saturn was also getting the raw end of the deal. Not with Neptune being a bottle baby, Saturn is doing much better and mom is taking pretty good care of her. always has a nie full belly but mom is just not really attentive. Today was the first day I let them out and mom just ran off with out a care in the world about her baby..... GGGRRRR

I will just apologize now for the bad quality pics and the weird randomness of them.

Every one seen mom and wanted to cram into the barn fror treats.

A little more grown up and blurry pic of Spot but you can see the strips through her spots. Such a cool marked goat. Well I think so anyways

Luna - One of the bottle babies who got adopted by the Apline. She is growing like a weed and doing great. You can just see Gandolph in the pic as well. Gandolph is going to be a short stocky brick house of a doe when she grows up. I see trouble in these twos eyes everytime I look at them.

Vango who managed to have two adorbale little twin bucklings on the 15th... This is where I want to know who did not think pink. I just wanted one no eared doeling... ONE. and I get two snow white boys. Came out Saturday morning and there they were, dried off and both nursing. She is doing great with them for being a FF.

One of the new bucklings. They are named Vincent and Vans.

Kurt the Apline who adopted the bottle babies

Vincent or Vans. not sure which this was. Looking like a little polar bear.

Presley - The fainter... Still waiting. Belly has dropped and she is huge Any time now would be nice.

Elvis - The fainter buck Presley is bred to. SUper goat the nubian checking things out.

Vincent and Vans sleeping after getting their bellies full. Nothing about that looks comfy

Wallace - One of the Nubian alpines sold to a 4Her

Sorry for the pic overload too... Now if I could just get rid of the mud and get some good pics

Pretty goats and your right, that position the twins are in doesn't look comfy!

 

[Canadiannee]

So sorry to hear about your doe.
