Thought I would give an update since it has been so long since I have posted. I finally sold 4 of my goats and only have Caesar, my 7 month old mini lamancha buckling left to get rid of. I will be back down to my original two does. One is in milk and the other is pregnant. :-) It was hard...
Hopefully this will assure they will not be pregnant! I am planning on selling these girls and would hate for them to be bred. They are way too young. I'm pretty sure I won't have any more escapes from the boys and they will be going soon, too.
Still no signs of abortion this morning. I guess maybe they weren't actually successful breedings. (I only "saw" one get bred but I assumed the other did as well)
Well, I administered the 2ml shot in the muscle...plenty of contractions. Sadie, my mini-lamancha, had a little burst of liquid after a few minutes. Nothing has happened the last two hours. My little Nigerian had plenty of contractions but nothing else happened.
It was Lutalyse. There still is no sign of abortion. I would think at 5 1/2 weeks bred there would be something coming out??? I will call the vet in the morning...
My buckling accidentally bred his sister and another doeling that is too young. My vet gave me the lute and I dosed them this morning. My husband picked up the meds and didn't ask any questions. What should I expect? How long does it take? They are about a month after breeding...I got too busy!
They do have blue eyes at the moment...I've heard that can change, though. Okay, so chocolate chamoise with white? Sounds good. Wanting to know how to describe them on their paperwork.
Things have been busy around here ever since Tingle and Mary Jane kidded. It is going to be hard to see the little ones go but the purpose of me getting goats was for milk...not to build a herd. I can see how easily it happens. I started with two in April of last year; now I have seven! Ha...
What an exciting day...I'm so in love with these babies! There is a big difference between the kidding of Tingle and Mary Jane. I got Tingle 3 1/2 weeks before she kidded; so there wasn't that emotional investment of raising her for the last year. I think I'm going to have to keep the...
Here they are!!!! The little doeling came first...I was inside making lunch when I heard a "different" sounding cry. I put on my shoes and when I got to the stall the doeling was already halfway out. I was just with MJ 10 minutes before so I guess she was waiting for some privacy??? I helped...
A Doeling and a Buckling!!!! Both healthy and LOUD!!! Especially the doeling...she hasn't stopped crying since she came out. Mary Jane is doing a great job of cleaning them up. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. I will post pics soon...promise!!!!
