✨ Wings & Caprines Dutton ✨

He's like a lizard in the heat even with his super long hair, but I still felt like he needed a rough clipping in these temps 🥵. He looks so majestic with his long flowing hair (6" in some places). It makes me sad to cut it off each year, but at least he still has his luxurious beard.

I haven't been able to leverage him much in my herd since my foundation does are closely related to him but hopefully as the generations get more distant I can use him some.

🚫🐐 You shall not pass! 😅

I am loving these creep feeder panels. When we built the new barn, I wanted a common kid area where kids of all ages could hang out and use the lean-to, but I also needed a space that only the youngest kids could access. Having a separate "baby section" makes life so much easier when a group is on a different numbers of Lambar feedings.

The May babies figured out the panel almost immediately and now zip through like pros. The older kids, however, are discovering that size has consequences and are not thrilled about being excluded from all the extra feedings. 😂

The photo is one of the bigger kids realizing the rules have changed. The video is the little ones showing off how it's done. I'd call this creep feeder panel a success! More improvements to come before next kidding season.

We hit the jackpot with this Karakachan. I can't thank Tinker Ridge enough for trusting us with this girl. Pink has been here for over a year now and is the perfect blend of nurturing, docile, and protective. She loves laying amongst the baby goats and is so careful around them. She can jump through gates and fit through our feeder panels so she has access to all the barn/pens and doesn't miss anything happening on the property. Her genetics definitely play a strong role in her personality, but they also did an amazing job training her.

Cleaning out the nursery…

Bucklings: “Hey mom, wait! We need to p*e on the old sheets before you finish cleaning.”

Me: “Wow, thanks boys. That’s very thoughtful of you.”

[Waits for them to finish p*eing. Strips bedding. Puts down fresh shavings.]

Bucklings: “Actually… we need to p*e again.”

🤦‍♀️ I swear baby goats produce more fluid than they actually consume. 🤦‍♀️

This weekend we attended the NCDGBA Memorial Day Show. This was our 5th year attending, and we truly love this show so much. It’s such a wonderful, supportive group of people, and the show is always very well run.

Our kidding season completed this morning with an easy one from Cali. She kidded triplets in under 5 minutes.

This has been an incredibly stressful week. She was due Tuesday and I had to leave for California on Monday for work leaving Dan with a lot of responsibility, including Kimchi who was struggling to recover from a rough birth and 3 newborns. Luckily, Cali kept her legs crossed until I returned.

I absolutely could not do this without Dan. He was a rockstar at taking care of everyone while I was away.

Final kid count:
8 doelings 🩷
12 bucklings 💙

Kimchi gave us triplets today, 2 bucks and 1 doe, in what was probably the second hardest kidding we’ve ever been through.

My day started at 3am watching the camera, knowing labor was close. After a while I could tell something wasn’t right, and when I checked I found a butt trying to come out. I was able to find the back legs and get the first buckling delivered safely. Kimchi spent a long time cleaning him before trying for the second.

The second wasn’t coming either, and after feeling what seemed like way too many legs, I finally got the second buckling repositioned and delivered. That’s when Dan pointed out there was still another leg hanging out, and I realized why I had felt so many legs in there… two kids had been trying to come at the same time. The last kid was in a terrible position, with one front leg and one back leg presenting, and Kimchi was completely exhausted by that point.

After trying everything I could with guidance from NC State, we made the call to head to the vet school. They worked for quite a while to get the last kid out (without c-section), and to everyone’s surprise a LIVE little doeling finally arrived. The staff nicknamed her “Miracle.”

Kimchi gave us quite a scare afterward and went into a bizarre hyper-excitable state, but after sedation and morphine, we decided she may be more relaxed at home. Once back home, she settled down and is doing well considering everything she went through.

We’re incredibly thankful to be so close to the vet school today ❤️
