A really good article to read, for your pergnant herd, is Sue Reiths hypocalcemia, ketosis etc... up in the goatkeeping101 section of dairygoatinfo.com Print them out. The better the milker, the bigger the kids, the more kids, the better nutrition you need to have in your herd. Calcium is a huge in better milkers and does who carry more kids. Vicki

you can give them tums (2 a day) for calcium.

other then that becareful to no overfeed them grain though you may want to up their amount when they get to be around 3 months along.
