Love the spots!Well... So much for holding her till Saturday. We went to pick her up Saturday afternoon, she was in the early phases of labor. The reason the owners were selling her is because they didn't want to deal with her kidding, and making sure babies were ok, and nursing and all, which I don't understand, cuz that's my favorite part! Anyways, we debated for a little while about whether we were gonna leave her there till she kids, or not but the owners were really hesitant to do that. So we went ahead and took her on home... A 2 hour drive. EEEK! Well... She ended up losing her plug on the way home, poor thing was uncomfortable as ever, I felt like the worst goat grandma ever!We were prepared to pull over if she was there, but she managed to make it home.. Well, 10 miles from home at the in laws. She had plenty of straw and had them there in the back of the truck 20 minutes after we turned the truck off! Not only did she have one, she had THREE!! Triplets!!
Two girls and a boy!!!
First one out by 8:15, last one out by 8:45. And she did wonderful. She was a FF, didn't need any help, cleaned them all off well, let them all nurse. All did wonderful!!
Once they were up and nursing we brought them home and got them settled in. DH was worried that they would get cold (it was 45 degrees last night hee hee) so to calm his worries we put a heat lamp out there. We didn't get home till about 1am, and I was out checking on them at 5. All were sitting nice and content with their bellies full. All of them have done well so far! So we got 4 for the price of one! I'm satisfied!
The pictures I have aren't the best, they were in the heat of the moment. I'll try to get better pics later!
