NH Homesteader's first kidding season!

[frustratedearthmother]

That is awesome! Glad the other does are waiting....three births that close together are stressful. Can't wait for pics!

That's wonderful and you got to watch! What did DD think? Can't wait to see all the new arrivals.

 

[NH Homesteader]

She thought if was cool! She thought seeing Peppermint eat her placenta was cool too. I disagreed lol (gross!) she isn't phased by the whole thing which is awesome. She's a good farm kid! Our friend's son got to watch too. He's on school vacation, figured we'd send him back to school with a real education! Lol

I'm with you on the placenta bit It is wonderful when kids can get that kind of education Mine witnessed a pig giving birth a few years ago. Did not look terribly impressed about the whole thing, until the next morning, when one of my egg customers, a very prim and proper Scottish born university professor dropped in. DS ran out and told him "Andrew, Andrew! The piglets came out of Pandora's a-s-s!!!" The poor man stopped in his tracks and looked at me with such curious expression on his face, I didn't know if I should laugh or apologise!

Lol!! Kids...

My husband won't tell me how many goats I can keep. Does that mean all of them?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Does that mean all of them?

I'm sure that's EXACTLY what that means!!

 

[NH Homesteader]

I can't wait to start milking!

Everyone is good, kids are bouncing and playing. I've tentatively decided who I'm keeping out of this batch. Waiting for a call back from the vet about disbudding, the boys are ready. Not the girls yet.

Peppermint was acting psycho but she's calmed down a lot.

The does are all separate and fight when we try to put them together. They're gonna have to figure it out though, cause I am running out of space and have 3 goats currently living in outbuildings who need to get back in the barn asap! Lol darn hormonal goats!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh man...silly goats! They may just have to fight it out, lol. Move da babies outta the way and let them crazy mama's have at it!
