I just LOVE feeling the babies kick inside my does. It reminds me of being pregnant and feeling my babies kick!

Twin girls! I absolutely hate having to leave for work knowing a doe is going to kid while I'm gone! I got Licorice in the kidding pen, turned on the heat light, gave her goodies and water, and had to leave When I got home, I found two twin girls, born very recently, but mom not licking them. They were wet and cold. After some TLC, and some colostrum I milked from her, they were up and looking for some food. She also started licking them, which was a relief. Licorice's udder looks nice and was easy to milk.So incredibly precious! I am hoping Snowflake kids before the weekend because I have a wedding to attend. I thought I had this all planned out this year, but didn't know about the wedding during breeding time.

My twin doelings are only nursing off one side, which is making the unused side very large. I have been milking some out of the unused side, but I am fearful my doe will get mastitis. How do I get the kids to nurse on both sides? The mom has LOTS of milk.

Missed it again! Snowflake kidded while I was at work, but I got home to see one BIG buckling and a sweet doeling, up and nursing! I just LOVE goat babies!
