Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

Here are pictures of Melanie's kids from the other day-

Finn-


Charlie-


Haven't had time to get updated pictures of the others, my dad had a health setback on April 16th and ended up in the hospital for 4 days again, he is back at our house and starting PT again.

So sorry to hear about your dad!

The kids are looking great though.

Pretty kids Sorry your dad's had a set back Hope the PT helps toward a fast and full recovery!

You had really good weights on your triplets
We had more trips this year than ever and all had 2 in the 2 1/2 lb range and then one less than 2 lbs
Rosie had one close to 4 lb if I recall correctly and 2 less than 2 lbs
Yours all were over 3 lbs
I may need to pick your brain on how you fed or what you may have done
It could be totally unrelated to feed could be environmental
I don't know we've always seemed to have 4 +/- lb twins on average
But it did catch my attention how yours were consistently over 3 lbs
Good job whatever you did
They look great

thanks, not sure it is anything we did specifically. We were very happy to see that the kids from each doe were close in weight when multiples. We started feeding alfalfa hay mid-Jan this year, as our friend who we were getting hay from was running low on bales. We also feed a sweet feed(17%), alfalfa and beet pellet mix in the morning and evening. We do up the amount of this mix once the does have kidded and try to feed each doe separately-we have not started to milk any of the does yet given all that has been going on here. We have to figure out how we can separate the kids at night to make it easy on all. Given the size of Obie's single and Melanie's twins- they could easily go overnight away from mom.

Sorry your Dad had a set-back. Glad he's back home with you, again, already.

Those bucklings look great! Beautiful boys.

Hope your dad is feeling better!
Cute kids!

Charlie and Cheeto will be going to their new home when they are old enough! Charlie will be wethered and Cheeto will become their buck. They are going to the family that got Rascal, Cosmos and Chaos from us last fall! Rascal is the attention hog they tell me not surprising since he was a bottle baby. The family is excited to be adding them and they will be spoiled!!
