Roll Farms 2011-2012 kidding thread - Group shot of 11 kids, pg. 39

[Roll farms]

It may be tomorrow before she actually goes into labor, I just stared at her for a good half hour and didn't see nary a contraction.

This is Foxy's first time being bred Nubian, she was bred boer the last 2 times, so I'm excited to see what she produces.

Here's Foxy's udder 'before'

Tonight

And here's a dry but still wobbly pic of Ruby's girl. She's got wonky legs, I'm hoping it's just b/c she was so cold (she was stiff when I found her, I thought she was dead at first) and because Foxy didn't get her BoSe shots. She's had B vitamin and BoSe and colostrum.

We think Gus (LGD) chased Ruby off the kid, he was growling at the goats when we found the kid. She's raised kids before so don't see why she would have left her.
BAD DOG.
This was probably Gus' 1st time being around a kid and he thought he was protecting it, I imagine.

Ruby's baby is just precious. Hoping she's OK after her slightly traumatic entry into the world.


Sending Baby Boy Kids wishes for Foxy your way!

*yawn*

Foxy, twin boys.

Gotta feed / milk / bottle feed.....gonna be a while for pics, but you'll get 'em when I can.

10 bottle babies now....in 5 days.

 

[Missy]

Wow. that is a lot of boys....Congrats on all the babies Good luck with them all!

 

[Roll farms]

Yeah....4 does (including the one we lost from Patch) and 7 boys. Chaos is at 100% boys. He'd best turn that around fast

 

[Missy]

Do you have many more does due?

 

[SmallFarmGirl]

Do you have many more does due?

it seems like rolls has 900 does due !!!! Does it ever stop ????

 

[Roll farms]

Well.....I have more due, but I can't tell you when just yet. NOBODY is kidding on time.

I didn't think Derri took, but now it's looking like maybe she's building an udder so she may be next. I thought Ruby'd go in Jan / Feb and she had hers yesterday.

Risque, the 2 Toggs, the 2 Obs, and the yearling boers are all pg (or supposed to be....) so we shall see. Unless Derri goes soon, we're done for at least a month.


I THINK.

Pics in a minute, I finally got the colostrum done, milk pastuerized, dishes washed, etc.

SO GLAD Dh's best buddy is bringing lunch today.

Cute , Cute, Cute. I just love nubian faces. So how is the little black head doeling doing? Is she a keeper for your farm?
