Loving the herd life
I'm following quite a few kidding/lambing threads and thought I would start my own!
I had 5 does kid last year and 2 of them I bought already 3-4 months bred. My 3 girls all had singles. 2 bucks and a doe. The 2 I bought both had twins. 3 does one buck. So a total of 7 kids from 5 goats. Anyways, we should have at least 6 does kidding this year(which is an improvement from just 3)

Here is one of Sebastian's wether kids. They brought him down and said he was for sale and I couldn't pass. He is a Boer/Nubian. The dam was traditional boer and sire was Sebastian. Makes me excited to see what I'll get!

Here is a picture of "Sticks" and Spice.
And here is the lil devil, Grass.
Sorry for the long and confusing post. I'm mostly using this thread so I can keep track of dates and signs for future kiddings, but it's great that others can be waiting with me! I also saw Latestarter had a poll, so I thought it would be fun. The girls are on much better minerals and diets this year so I hope most will have twins. Edited to make it shorter.
