Bell had her babies last night! Twin doelings! I GOT SPOTS! My first home grown Kinders and I got spots! :weee Here is the black one, she has 2 spots on her neck. Here is the spotted one that I just have to keep! Her dots are just awesome!

Look at this face and pretty blue eyes. :love

Edles had her babies around 5pm today! Triplet bucklings!!!! Oh well they are still cute and I will enjoy them while they are little. She had the first two right after each other and then stood up and nursed them and then a while later I thought she was passing the placenta and BAM out...

Forgot to mention, last night I sat in the barn with Edles for a while just watching and hoping to see some labor signs. She was licking my hands and my coat a lot and baaaaaing a lot too. She is a very quiet and reserved doe so maybe this is a good thing??? I mean this goat NEVER makes a...

NO BABIES yet!!! Edles is on day 151 today and Bell is on day 147. So you would think I would have some babies sometime soon right???

Ummmmmm absolutely NOTHING going on here. :/

ughhhh! No babies yet. I turned her out with the other girls for a while so she can mingle. No more contractions this morning. :/

Funny Jokes! :lol: She is not in any hurry today that is for sure.

Next up, due on March 10th is Bell. These will be my first homegrown Kinders from my buck. Soooooooo very excited to see these babies. :weee Here is Bells thick side view. Baby belly view.

I didn't do kidding clips on these two girls because it is a frosty 15 degree lately and I didn't want their boobies to freeze. :D

Ok here is Edles today. She is a second timer and is bred to my cutie pie Nigerian buck gunner. Here is her top view, she is much wider than this pic shows. Doesn't she have the cutest face and lady beard. :) Here is the dignified rear view shot. Her tail is hanging low and to the...

Hi all! So I have been Missing from BYH for a while. Life has been too busy with 1000 things going on. But I do check in and lurk about once a week, I just don't post anything. I know everyone enjoys the kidding threads and I am one of them, soooooooo I thought I would start a "Nothing...

I am using milk replacer too and I think this will be his last bag of it. It should last him until 14 weeks old or about 3 1/2 months and then I think he should be big enough to wean from the milk. I was scared to wean him before 6 months, because that is the age all the calves raised on...

Ok thanks so much for the responses. I will see how he gains and see if he needs to just stay on grain with his grass. :)

He gets amazing home cut hay from the neighbors field, it is horse quality hay, A nice mix of grass and alfalfa. I do want him to be mainly grass fed as he gets bigger and older, so that leads to another question, What is a good age to wean him off of the calf starter??

I have a holstein steer that we are raising for beef. He is doing great on calf starter and is eating hay too. I still give him his milk in a bucket morning and night. I know I will probably get a ton of different answers and opinions, but I am wondering what age is the proper weaning age...

3.7 miles! :lau this calf had his backside pressed up against the door panel and I just knew I was going to be scrubbing calf poop out of the door speakers, but I really lucked out and he didn't make a single mess. :D I will go to TSC and see what my options are for calf starter.

Any suggestions on a good type of grain to get him started on? He has a bucket of water and I do see him drink from it during the day. The hay is in a feeder that he shares with the goats on the other side of the fence so he doesn't really ever eat the hay but it is there for the goats.

Got a new baby! We are going to grow him out for beef. The horse trailer was full of hay and I didn't want to unload it so he rode home in the back seat of the truck. He licked the leather seats and my husbands face most of the ride home. :lau I would like to introduce you to Pork...

The horse trailer was full of hay and I didn't feel like unloading all of it, so our new calf rode home in the back seat. He kept licking my husband on the cheek during the drive home. :lol: He is a holstein bull calf from a local dairy. 2 weeks old and doing good so far. He drinks out...
