), flashlight, handless flashlight. It’s been a few years, hopefully someone else will list anything I forgot. Watch a ton of videos if you can, make sure your assistants aren’t squeemish, don’t over worry yourself. Make sure you have a “jug” available. Some goats want nothing more than to be left alone in peace and quiet with a “midwife” goat. Others don’t want another goat there. A jug is just a place where you can keep mother and baby separate from the other goat for a few days, or to keep them in one spot so she doesn’t have a baby in the worst possible location. Fence panels or even pallets work just fine as a jug, nothing fancy. I, personally, like to keep penicillin and basic pain meds on hand. But that’s up to you. Check what a goat can use first, before you even think about thinking you need it, and write your list down.That’s good to know. I wasn’t aware. We acquired them from a farm and didn’t really know much about them. The blue eyes are kind of weird I thought.
Thank you! I will start getting that stuff together. I didn’t be even think of half the items you pointed out. I do have good shelters. But it is cold here. 20-30 degree temp and maybe 6-8 inches of snow on the ground.Do you have the basics on hand for babies? I feel like I say it a lot lol, but it never hurts to have a baby bag on hand. I assume you have good shelters? Keep towels on hand at all times. Iodine, sharp scissors, rope, small cup, lube(the livestock kind, not the tire kind
I put my basic stuff in a cooler, which doubled as a place to sit. Since then I now have a small tool box type thing, but that’s not baby specific stuff. Also, keep a little canned or powdered goat milk in the back of your pantry just in case. Good luck btw! And welcome!
It looks like you have great shelter, and plenty of room for both of them. I kept dog jackets on my babies when it got really cold, just make sure they’re poofy and that they smell like mom.
