No problem
So nothing new with the Kikos or Alana yet. Weighed all the goats today and got them in my database. All did REALLY good this last month. All the still growing goats have excellent weight gains and we confirmed a few pregnancies.

Yeah back to goat weights, good idea! I don't know if you saw my post in the goat section today Straw, but we lost twin boers when we had to pull them. 
Tim weighed them together and they weighed 25 pounds! Whoa, that's pretty big, too bad they didn't live.
You're going to wean your babies at 4 months, right? What's the disadvantage of weaning earlier than that?

Oh no Bridge I have not. I normally read every single post posted on this forum but have been so busy with so many things lately I have not seen it.Bridgemoof said:Yeah back to goat weights, good idea!

Whoaza that is some big goats. So sorry you lost them. Any idea as to why or how?No, I will wean my kids at 90 days old and the will be dam raised ONLY. No creep feed. I like the 90 day just because that is the standard for meat goats and it's really a good time for them. 120 day wean can stunt them, imo, as they still depend to much on momma when they should be on their own. Earlier and they don't get enough milk and will not grow as well as if you did the 90 wean. Of course if you creep feed then earlier can be better but I'm not into that much. It really comes down to what the goat producers feels is best for their goats.
