Lol!!

Of course I have a 50/50 shot of being right or wrong.

Ok so I have huge goats that pop out singles and thin barely pregnant looking goats that pop out twins and trips.

I may even have one ultrasounded... she is either going to have 5 LOL or a huge whopping single.

Lol!

Surprisingly, gretel was bigger this time last year than she is now, which is why i was hoooping lol. But, gretel, even when not pregnant, can look that way, she is SUPER efficient with rumen space.

Have you tried a copper bolus for the one who has copper issues? I have a few that have more copper issues than others and it seems to help.

Ihave only just heard about them. We are going to check if our feed store has them monday!

You may need to get the cattle ones and break them into smaller pieces. I get the Copasure for cattle and empty gel capsules from jeffers and break them into smaller ones for the goats. Approximately 1 gram copper oxide per 20 lbs of body weight is the scale I use. Jeffers carries ones for goats now but they cost 4 times as much per gram.

Thank you. I will look for both and see!
