Kidding Chaos

There has been a lot happening on the farm even if it is not happening on the blog.

There was a nice set of triplets born to a nanny with a huge udder that almost drug the ground.  The babies couldn't figure it out so we had to get her to the barn where we could work with her better. 

 Between the dogs, the other baby goats, the nanny and the triplets, it was quite the circus.  But it all worked out, the kids learned to nurse, the udder shrunk up some and everyone is happy.  

We had several nights with temperatures dropping into the 20's.  The barrel was a popular hangout. 

Then there was this set of triplets.  She was being a great mom, keeping them all together but the little brown and white one just wasn't getting enough.  With the cold weather it got too weak and had to make a trip to the house.

It spent a couple of days in the laundry room.  I had to tube feed it a few times before it decided it was better to nurse from the bottle.  

Now it is with 4 others on the bottle feeder. 

And then there was this.  We are pretty sure they are all hers.  But the important thing is that she thinks they are all hers.  I have her in a separate field for the time being to see how all of this will shake out.
