Haven't been on this forum in a while, so here are some updates. I keep a goat log, so here's a brief summary of the life of my goats since last February:
3/5: 1 buckling born to Nakera (Wanda's 2019 daughter)
3/9: Put Idima up for sale
3/11: Sold Buckley and Vita (Eshki's daughter)
3/25: Bought 2 does from neighbor. Named them Bessie & Francesca.
4/5: One doeling born to Periwinkle.
4/6: Sold Nakera, her baby, and Wanda’s babies
4/24: Stopped milking Darla, milk depleted
6/1: Renamed Bessie to Molly.
6/6: Mobile vet comes to treat goats.
6/24: Francesca passes away, possibly of coccidiosis.
7/25: Darla passes away, possibly also coccidiosis, but she had other problems such as abcesses.
11/21: Vet visits to treat Eshki’s mastitis. Stopped milking for a month.
12/21: Resumed milking Eshki, but there was very little.
12/28: Stopped milking Eshki.
I recently checked Wanda, and her udder is filling, which indicates that the little male managed to breed her. He's IMG_1043 on the Feb. 4 post but mostly grown up now. Attached is a picture I took the day they bred. I noticed my goats tend to sit next to each other after mating.
On Tuesday 1/19, Periwinkle, my oldest doe, just gave birth to 2 babies (plus one unfortunate stillborn.) Her daughter also gave birth, but the baby had problems and only lasted until just this night.
Here are Periwinkle's babies. The darker one is a doeling, and the lighter one is a buckling:
