Southern's 2015 Kidding -Mini's off to new home

[Southern by choice]

Stupid cold here -3 this am!

We were going to move all the goats to their new building but with the cold we have kept everyone where they are... so pups, kids, lots of goats and a lot of chickens are in one building! They are keeping warmer that way with all the body heat. The Adult dogs could care less about the temperature... they are sleeping outside. LOL
They are wound up and playful yet the ice is making it NO FUN!

Worry about Ruby with her bad feet... cannot have that sweetie slipping down the hill.

Star could go on Sunday but I think not... hoping for Monday or better yet Wednesday! Weather will be better.
She has ballooned out quite a bit.
No huge udder though so we will see.

Congrats on the babies! I would love a doe kid out of Mo Clone, she is a nice girl. Hubby doesn't like goats without horns...hint hint.....(next year don't disbud them)

Fall she will be bred to the son of "George" do you remember George the NZ we had here? So they should be some very nice kids. Registered too.
Make you a deal... you can take "T" the commercial buck with you!

I love the Kiko's. They really are nice easy keeper no fuss no muss goats. When we move I want to rebuild the herd...hint hint!

Well doesn't look like Star will be doing anything...for awhile.

My daughters goat looks like she may go today.

Chunk won't leave the doe's side. He is just like his daddy... he has become the "baby" watcher.

So I am working on the puppy house and general clean up... UGH! The ice and snow is melting... MUD EVERYWHERE!

Last night we checked Star... nothing... ligs firm so we didn't move her... no indicators. This am my son comes in and said Star has 2 boys and a girl on the ground!


She was in the main barn.. we run out and she must have just had them, one was standing and nursing, one was partially cleaned off and the 3rd still had everything all over it's face. They were COLD!
Brought them in dried them, blow dried them and got them warmed up.
