Taffy birthed

[MiniSilkys]

She is looking better. You might try mixing some sweet feed into her ration. They love it and it helps put on weight. My goats love bermuda hay. Do you have any baking soda out for her?

 

[MiniMilkers]

She has unlimited alfalfa, mineral, and water. She is getting grain 3x a day. Grain is calf manna. I started her out with a little. Slowly increasing it weekly. Shes now getting the recommended amount that is on the bag for goats.
Leaves from our trees 1-2 times a week. I do not give my goats baking soda.
Her last weight was 65 lbs.
She loves calf manna. The second I grab her bucket to go get the grain she's pacing by the gate. She polishes off a flake of alfalfa a day. Not including most of the stems. She picks through for the fine stem and the leaf.

Just waiting to see when she will kid.

Baking soda helps to control the acid in the rumen and helps keep away bloat.

How is she doing? Just read through and interested to see how she is.

It has been some time since I have been on. She is doing okay. She just got treated for pneumonia. She was doing good then one morning when I went out to feed, she did not get up. Did not come for attention like she always does. Checked her temp 105.7! It was cool that morning, around 40 degrees. Off to the vet.
She has completed the antibiotics. She is back to her normal self. No kidding yet. I could feel baby/ies moving when I checked her temp. Her udder had shrank to nothing, in the past 2 weeks started to fill again. Will get pictures when I have time. It has been crazy around here with Taffy and Christmas soon.

Oh no! Glad you got her to a vet and she is okay now. Hope the rest her pregnancy is uneventful and you have some cute kids in the next month or so.

How is taffy?

 

[MiniSilkys]

Has Taffy Kidded yet?

 

[MiniMilkers]

Taffy has not kid. She is really round. The date has come and gone for her to have been pregnant when I purchased her. My nigi buck did escape twice. When I went out to feed, he was In her pen.
I think she might be pregnant now from my escape buck. The one date would be 150 days Feb 10th. Her udder is not very big.

Taffy has a large moonspot I never noticed before.
