Farm living with goats...

[Mephistopheles Janx]

13 babies so far this year with 1 more momma left to give birth (assuming I don't have any surprises)



I had an inordinate number of bottle babies this year due to several first time moms that abandoned their babies. I did have two experienced moms abandon babies. One because it was in the middle of a snow storm and it didn't thrive and I believe the other one abandoned because another doe came up and cleaned the babies for her. She no longer recognized them.

I have, as of today, 13 babies on the ground safe and sound. 6 did not survive (4 in snow banks and I didn't catch them in time, 1 died during birth, 1 was smothered trying to keep warm).

I had 8 bottle babies... 5 of which I am still bottle feeding. 3 of them have 3 weeks of bottle left. The other two have 6 weeks of bottle feeding left.
