New to goat ownership

[Backyard Farmgirl]

I'm new to goat ownership, but some experience with milking/caring for goats a few decades ago. Very excited to have my own now. I never realized how much there was to know until I bought two pregnant does, one who kidded two weeks after bringing them home. Talk about jumping in head first! Glad to be part of this community and look forward to learning so much more from everyone here!

Welcome to BYH! I have pygmys and am trying to patiently await my new arrivals and hoping they come when it is not raining as it has been this whole winter. Is this your first post? It says you joined Feb. 10th. It may be a little while before some of the members get around to viewing this thread because we recently lost a valued member of BYH. So just give it time. I recently had a problem with one of my yearlings which I posted about and got some info from others but it turned out to just be a butting injury. We thought she might have had polio. But she is doing great now. Like @CntryBoy777 said, we love pics of kids and all goats so don't forget to post them. By the way, I am thrilled that you did not lose your first kids since kidding happened so soon after their arrival to your place. I learned the hard way to if at all possible don't make goats travel in the last 30 of gestation. Anyway, congratulations and welcome again! Don't forget pics.
