Triplets x 4

 Yes, four sets of triplets yesterday, along with two singles, two sets of twins, and unfortunately, a twisted uterus that I had to take to the clinic for a c-section.  But her uterus was ruptured beyond repair and the twins were both dead. I euthanized her while she was anesthetize.

One nanny decided to kid in a dirt patch.

This one picked a little bit better spot.

These looked ok.

As did these.

The dirt patch bunch had a couple that were a little weak.  We decided to move them to the barn but they were on the other end of the field.  We used the leap frog technique to get them across the field.  

Joe would take two, walk a little ways and put them down.  Then I would pick up the other one.  The nanny would go to the ones Joe put down and I would carry mine a little further.  We repeated that all the way to the barn.  And since she was a pretty level headed nanny everything worked out.  Once in the barn we were able to help the weak ones nurse.  They were all up by that evening.

One of the other nannies had a big teat on one side that the kids weren’t getting ahold of.  So Joe just snuck up and grabbed her.  I then helped the little ones work on the big side.  We will see this morning if they can do it by themselves.
