Updated...February - Doodle kidded, pics page 32

[jodief100]

Your baby is still in the goat. Still waiting and getting antsy.

I go to the barn several times a day and every time- no kids!

Hubby is convinced these girls are delaying kidding as long as possible because they are enjoying the kidding pens. They have their own grain pan as opposed to the community trough.

Udder development was first observed on December 14th! Fat Girls udder is huge. It doesnt fit between her legs!

I am used to these meat goats with itty bitty udders. I will get new pics of the udders tomorrow and you can see.

We had a big storm yesterday, roads are still a mess. You would think they would go ahead and kid! The goats are taking over control!

They better not be waiting until I am out of town for 6 days for work at the end of the month.

I would be interested in a Toggie except I HATE doing bottle babies. We had a few togg wethers here for a week this fall and my stepson loved them. I keep thinking I should get a Togg doe for him.

When you work full time bottle babies are just too much of a pain, no way to do the miday feeding without bringing them to work with you. Then everyone wonders why you have a big crate in the back of your car.

No way, it's do able! I work full time. Just feed the babies before work, when you get home, and before bed!

only ones I can't find a buyer for are the Togglings...*sigh*

Which babies are the togg babies? I thought it was Missy & Itty that were the only toggs...did I miss Missy's kids?? Tried looking on your site

but couldn't figure out who was a tog!

If she was just a pet you wouldn't HAVE to bottle feed, right? My Nubian doe is doing just fine raising her twins all by her lonesome.

Kim sells her babies as bottle babies.


aggieterpkatie, you have a valid point but I not only work full time I have a daily commute time of 2:15 to 2:30 under normal conditions and I tend to work 9-10 hr days. I am usually in bed 3 hours after I get home. The evening bottles would have to be two hours apart and that doesn't work too well. I bottle raised two last year and I was wiped out! I took them to work with me and they stayed in the car but that was in May.

That is round trip. In the morning with low traffic I can make it in an hour. Home there is always some traffic.

Still sucks! But that is the price we pay to live in the country and have our little farm. I think it is worth it.
