MYSTERY SOLVED.
I'm drying off the girls and only milking once every 4 ish days. Even less often for Persia. So I was wondering WHY the right half of her udder kept producing milk at such a notable rate, compared to the other side.
I also noticed that Blue's little daughter is lookin' pretty fat these days despite the fact that I've started weaning her off bottles.
APPARENTLY, Blue's little daughter and Persia have a secret milk sharing relationship. And APPARENTLY, Blue's little daughter favors the right side.
ARRRGH.

Wether kids NEED to go! Must reduce my workload. Like immediately. Located in The Dalles, Or.
Five zero but if you get more than one goat, price drops to twenty five each.
Very healthy, bottle babies that need 4 more weeks on bottle.
Disbudded and banded already. On Cocci prevention, clean tested herd.

Yes, I have to coerce him into farm chores, but don't let the teen attitude fool you- this kid enjoys his goats. ☺️

01/06/2024

Umami x Thor doe kid is filling out nicely.
I'm happy because these quints were SO small.

31/05/2024

The weather was so nice today! The 14 kids all played outside for hours.

30/05/2024

Another surprise! My sweet yearling Emmie had a beautiful buckling this afternoon. We didn't see any kids when we ultrasounded in March so I thought she didn't take. An udder came in recently but she was very small, so we figured maybe she was due in July.
Thankful for another uneventful, safe kidding for mama and baby.
OUR KIDDING SEASON IS OFFICIALLY DONE NOW! Wooohoooo

29/05/2024

Coral x Thor kids are here! Two bucklings.
Born 05/27/24 without any drama or announcement. I came out to feed babies and they were on the ground, mostly cleaned up. Mama and kids are doing great will be looking for new home after linear appraisal occurs on 06/03/24. Let me know if interested!

The 5 Timer's club. All doing well considering they're the size of kittens. 🙄

Mama and kids doing well, however that's a lot of stress to put on a first time mom and the kids are all quite small.
I'll start them on bottles earlier than usual.
PHEW. I'm exhausted.
