I am SO sorry We had our herd queen pass away a few weeks ago too. She was one that was going to die of old age on our farm... She had triplets this year with 2 stillborns, and one week later she went downhill, fast. Vet thought she was hemorrhaging internally from the uterus and ultimately lost enough blood internally that she passed away. So I totally understand how you feel... My heart goes out to you...

That's so sad. I'm sorry to hear about your herd queen. I still have her daughter and grandaughter in my herd, so she not totally "gone" from the herd. We have 2 does acting like they might have babies this afternoon, not absolutely sure.

Same with us. We have 2 daughters from last year and 1 from this year, so her genes are still with us. And I've noticed her babies have very similar personalities as she did...

As for the 2 does that might have babies today... I hope all goes well with them!! Remember... keep calm

Thanks. It's really making the death of my herd queen seem like it's for a reason in a way. We were retiring her anyways, and the little girl that was born a couple hours ago, we are planning on keeping.
