My Doe Frosty had triplets.....but only 1 made it. But, it's a doeling.The 2 that were DOA were, what I think, identical twin boys. I'm sad about them, but I'm just happy I didn't lose all 3. One more Doe to kid and she won't be kidding til end of April, or beginning of May.

Golly! You're just having a rough year! I'm glad the doeling was the one that survived though!

 

[lkmartin1230]

Yeah, still wish the boys would have made it, because I have like a BUNCH of people already offering to buy my bucklings and doelings, but I am pretty sure I ran somebody off because I told them I wasn't selling the doelings and that I wasn't selling my bucklings for less than $100......that particular person thought $60 a goat was bad.....I don't think they need goats quite yet IMHO.

If you don't put the research in BEFORE trying to buy from me, chances are you won't be getting a goat. Like I MAKE SURE that anybody that buysor tries to buy from me knows what they are getting into, because I want these babies to have the best life they can, and when somebody offers $60 for a goat I'm asking $100 for its almost an insult, and then they still think $60 is bad.

Aww! Congratulations on the doeling! Sorry the other two didn't make it!

For some people the days of "disposable" livestock are still here. You didn't raise that goat, pamper the doe, pamper the baby, for some dumdum to waltz away with it for less money than it took to raise it. Don't blame you one bit.

Sorry about your additional losses. Do you know what happened? Congrats on another doeling. Good to have a break till the next time around.

 

[Hens and Roos]

sorry to hear about your loss

 

[lkmartin1230]

Yes I do know what was wrong. They weren't fully developed and were smaller than normal. But, the little girl was perfect size.

Okay my doe that was "supposed" to be due in April or May kidded March 18th, around 515 in the evening. She was a FF and she did very good, only had a small problem. The kids right leg was back and her shoulder was blocking her way out. But we got her out and mom and baby are doing great. She's a keeper.
