5 mums, 12 kids and 3 still to kid!
« on: March 06, 2012, 03:36:59 pm »
Almost there!  Went into the barn this morning and between 8 and 8.30 (thankyou mums for waiting till daylight!) triplets and twins were born.

3 mums to go.....

Wonderful - and such considerate girls you have, too!  Congratulations to you all.

 I have 6 weeks to wait - getting very impatient now, especially reading about all the newcomers that have arrived already...  Hope mine is a sensible mum and chooses a civilised time to produce like yours did.

Wow - your girls are doing really well - my girls are way down on your score - 5 mum's done as of now - 9 kids and one to go - all I can be thankful for is so far only one vet intervention - saying that I sure a c-section counts as 2 normal helps!!

Good luck with your last 3, hope it all goes well.

Love the photos.  In the first two, I swear that goat is smiling.

Last kid-but-one (final kidding not due for another 3 weeks) at 1am - that'll be the full moon though last night!  Lovely single girl.

Time for a rest and no more late night checks and feedings - whooppeeeeee
