WHAT?!? No pics!?! And details, we need details - how many, how old . . . . inquiring minds want to know!

Congratulations, you're going to enjoy them.

OH, I've been running myself ragged trying to get a stall ready for the oldest to kid.... I'll take my camera with me the next time I go to the barn. The rain is off and on now but now I understand that goats can kid 5 days in either direction of the due date! :baby04:
I'm hoping she'll give me a another day or two and then she will have a beautiful new stall just for her and the other two that are due.

Do tell me, I understand that goats do not like to be alone (or at least that is what I was told). Should I put all three that are due in one stall or just the one that is due first?

Well we had two set of twins today! And man have I been busy....
I bought a small herd of Ken's neighbors, I was a little too late in commiting on Ken's but these are from his stock and such sweet girls and guys!
Now, needless to say I totally forgot all about the camera but I WILL take it with me in the morning to the barn. We now have 3 little girls and 1 little boy and all I want to do is hold them all!
I'd better get dinner on before I'm fired around here.

Congratulations Tami!

Guess I got them to your place just in time! I thought I saw one with her legs closed tightly.
