So, I have had the privilege of caring for goats for about 3 1/2 years now, and you would think that would be long enough to learn something. This year has been a year of firsts for us all the way around. I have had girls swell up a month before they give birth (they are supposed to swell up within 1 to 2 days, not 30). I’ve had girls not get a tight bag, It’s just been crazy.
So Doe 11 was Trudy, well she is still as big as a house and has not dropped her babies yet. But we got home from church yesterday and Cheyenne had a baby girl! We put her and mama in the OB ward, and a couple hours later, here’s another girl! Good deal, twin girls. One was 6 lbs. 13 oz. and the other was 8 lbs.
So now we are just waiting on Trudy, she might give birth sometime this year. Then we have 3 left after that. I’ll be so glad when kidding season is all over.
