It was a disappointing year for kidding. Several nannies ended up being open. Half of the ones that did kid only had singles. We only had 2 sets of triplets. But they were finished so it was time to work them and get them turned back out of the field they have been in for over a month.
They seemed to know it was time to get turned out and they came running.
Getting them into the lot and into the barn was uneventful.
I am hoping for a younger person to help take my place next year. Running around and catching each kid is getting a little more challenging. Joe on the other hand, is still great at his job. After we finished banding the male kids and letting the female all out, we dewormed all the adults. Joe held each one for me to squirt the dewormer down.
Everyone was excited to be done.
Final kid count - 44
