Getting ready

[Kittikity]

My three does are due at the end of March.. I've ordered the x30 dehorner and a tattoo kit.. I still need to get the cd/t vaccine, a bander, make a milking stand, get some bottles, syringes.... That's all I can think of right now.. Anything else major that I need to get before they kid?

Do you have all the little stuff? Like iodine, molasses, lube, thermometer etc....

[Kittikity]

I'm working on the little stuff.. Most of that I can get almost anywhere.. Its the major goat specific stuff I'm trying to make sure of..

Order a mid-ewe incase you need to tube feed a weak kid.Mid-Sates wool sell them.

BoSe or selenium/E gel. Wormer. I worm my does the day they kid.

And you need to start stocking up on sleep now as you will not get much around the time they start teasing you about kidding then you run get everything ready go back out and get that " Why are you carrying all that stuff ?" , look I am not even close yet.

Nasal syringe to suck mucus out of the little noses. We use disposable puppy pads during kidding as it helps keep the stall and the kids a bit cleaner. Naval clamps (we keep our soaked in alcohol in a plastic container). Sterile bandage scissors to cut the cord. Plenty of old toweling to dry off kids. We have a large plastic box to hold our kidding supplies, which really helps.
