Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

So before time gets away from me again...here is another update :)

Obie kidded on Friday(4/6) late afternoon with 2 bucklings and 1 doeling; The 1st one was a buckling(3 lbs 14 oz) soon followed by buckling 2(3 lbs 15 oz) and doeling(4 lbs).

With Melanie's and Obie's kidding, I was lucky and had an extra set of hands to help out-DD has a friend whose sister is taking classes to be a vet tech and she was excited to come and help out! Extra hands are so nice to have!!
 
Basil(FF) decided that Sunday(4/8) was a good day to kid! DD checked her and a half hour or so later, Basil had her 1st kid out-a doeling, then her 2nd doeling and finally her buckling :ep. We were thinking 1 maybe 2 kids at most!

She is doing a great job of taking care of her kids! OFA Granite is the sire of the kids!

Your triplets are so much bigger than ours! I was talking to SBC and was telling her that I was feeding the does for more than a month before. Who knows...

Congratulations on healthy, adorable goat kids!!

Thanks. We feed year around with a beet pellet/alfalfa pellet mix and 17% Goat feed- the amounts fed are changed based on the goat's need. Our goats get alfalfa/grass hay mix all year around-depends on what we can find for sale here.
