We're Officially Done Spring/Summer 2011 Kidding!
There you have it folks, we are officially done this seasons kidding! Stella had a single buckling a few weeks ago, and yesterday Sally gave us a doeling and a buckling :).
It has been a fun season, and we have learnt a lot! Our main goal for next year is to figure out why our goats had such thick sacks, and then try and cure this problem so that we have fewer deaths. We are also quite certain that our herd has a bit of a copper deficiency so we will be giving them supplements this weekend (if all goes according to plan that is), when we de-worm and trim hooves.
I have not taken many pictures of the new babies, but I will hopefully get a few either tonight, or tomorrow some time. In the mean time here is a cellphone picture I took of Stella's baby moments after he was born.
Lambing season is also done for the year, so we now only have to wait for the cows to finish up, and we'll be done with babies until October (if our Does were bred).
