Well, I guess it's that time of year. We have two goats kidding before our "mass kidding rush" in December. OFA Aravis kidded this afternoon at day 145 with two lovely bucklings. I think one is polled. (Dam is) I've never seen newborns eat as much and as long as these guys. And one nurses laying down.

Next up: Edelweiss (Vicey) the FF Saanen around Nov 15.

Please don't start a buck year :)

Last year we had a ND buck year and a LM doe year. Better than the reverse- but we'd really like more ND girls for sure. Especially from Orchid. Sigh. Crossing all our fingers. She's huge for not being due for 6 more weeks so at least odds may be in our favor. And I think Aravis's 2F daughter Gwen will probably have triplets or more since she had triplets last year and didn't look any bigger than she does now 6 weeks out.

Coleus had litters
I think it may skip a generation
