I always want to share the ups and downs of having Livestock.

Today we lost Hailey one of the best moms and one of my (Jeremie) favorites. Her twins are doing fine and we are keeping an eye on them and also trying to supplement some milk. They are about 7 weeks old so they are close to weaning but they have about a week or so.

We also checked majority of the herd tonight for worms by checking their eye lids color aka Famacha. We ended up deworming quite a bit. We have a few more to do tomorrow to get them all. With all of this rain the worm loads are high.

Well after 3 days of no new kids we finally got two twin girls out of Becky who we were told had 1+ so we figured 1. She's been a good mom and we helped milk one side that was a little full. We both milked her and it was my (Jeremie) first time since Kari Houg has done it a few other times this year.

5 to go with 2+ in every doe left. So currently on pace to get 30+.

6 moms left to go but nobody kidded today so here's a short video of some baby goats. Of course we weren't filming when they were all climbing on the tree together.

Paige has broken her streak! Until this point she has had 3 girls every time. Today she had 2 twin boys. She understood this is the year to sell some goats. The others didn't understand that.

Mary had her kid last night. So far today we have had no new babies.

Busy day so far on the farm. Big twins girls from Hailey! Ghost had 1 white/yellow girl. Pickles had one kid (Girl?) I think. She's really flighty so we will have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure. If it's a girl we are sitting at 10/10 girls with 0 boys so far. Just my luck on the year I wanted to sell a bunch of goats.

A little sunrise and newborn photo. 5:15am I didn't get too close since she wanted space.
