Finally our goat Letty had her babies. Yes that is right 3!!! They are now 24 hours old. They are the cutest things ever for sure. 1 buck and 2 precious girls..... I was so excited yesterday morning I flew out of bed when Adam told me she had them. You would have thought I was in labor, not her.... She had just had the last one right before we went outside. The children get all dressed and come outside as well. Then Shiloh asks the big question... "Did you get them in town?" How funny... I had to explain the whole baby thing again.. I said no, Letty had them in her tummy... "How did they get out?" I go through the whole thing and explain that, in a 3 year old kinda way... I had to use our dear friend Jennifer who had just had her first baby as an example..... Shi was good with the whole thing after that... The kids are nursing well, I think... I am new to this goat farming thing... We got a nipple just in case and made up a special recipe for the little critters. It seem as if she is shunning the runt a bit so I am bottle feeding her just as a precaution. She doesn't seem that hungry though... So guess I am an over protective step mom.... Next week will be the dehorning, vaccinating and castration. I am a hoping John steps up to the plate on that one.. I am just the Nannie not the vet... Although I did deworm and give some Pro-Bios to the momma yesterday. I think it was a bit awkward for the both of us, seeing how most of it ended up in her eye..... Well I guess I better get on with my day. Daylight is burning.... Isn't that what all goat farmers say???? God Bless!
