October kidding?

darbyfamily · #1 05/30/08, 02:57 PM

is October still early enough in the fall to kid without complications?

I found someone in my area that has a buck we can use to breed Ms Mia

if we breed her this week, assuming she settles, she'll be due in October, right?

where can I find a chart for due dates?

south Kansas, almost Oklahoma is still fairly warm into the middle of October

And Nigerian dwarf goats, I could put in a playpen in the house for a few wks if need be, as they'll be tiny.

Thanks

You should not have a problem with an October kidding. Keep them dry and warm until they are dried off completely and then put their cute little butts outside....unless of course you want to keep them in the house all winter.

Nigie kids are very cute.... but don't feel too sorry for them or you'll be the one out in the barn. LOL
