Well a couple of months ago, my youngest asked if we could have a couple of goats   as it was i knew someone that was selling up there herd and agreed to 2 

Ok alot happens in 2 months .....................................yestrday the last of them were delivered

Yes you guessed it, nope...muggins here didnt end up with 2!!! but .........................................................32!!!!!!

They are all boer x and theres a few pure boers amongst them   apparently they are due to start kidding on CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

Theres a 100% boer buck 19 i'm sure does, and all the rest this years babies 

Some of the babies will be for sale in the new year but i'm not sure which yet

Wish me luck for my first load of kidding ....................it cant be that hard can it???

Oh My Goodness !!! (That's the polite version!)

You're certainly going to have your hands full ! Having only experienced 2 goats in my life (both Billys) I'm afraid I can't give you any advice - but I have given birth myself on Xmas Day (4 years ago, a wee girl, not a goat lol !) and it was certainly memorable !
I would imagine it's similar to lambing but I'm sure you'll get the answer from people who know better than me.
Good Luck & have a very merry xmas !

Hi,
Just wondering how the kidding has been going ?
I'm assuming it's in full swing and you've not had a minute to post.

they havent started yet   the previous owners reckoned they were starting christmas day but i reckon their all crossing their legs till the weather gets a bit warmer 

[Rosemary]

They might have a bit of a wait!

[danndans]

i'm getting itchy feet waiting for them to start i rek when they do start the ewes will start at the same time, well i hope they do

I know how you feel. I'm getting itchy feet waiting for my sheep to start but not due until end of Jan the first one & last ones into March. You have got quite a selction of different animals recreating at the same time. All the very best D. Have a good what's left of calving , kidding  and lambing .
