Yesterday was a long day. Lady (grade) kidded with triplet bucks (boo!) right before milking time, which made 4 sets of triplets for the first 4 does to kid which was great. Then after the 9 p.m. kid feeding, Yaara decided to kid with her giant buck/doe twins. As I was finishing up with her, Gal let me know she was ready, so after a bit of finagling, she had 2 does - first was rear feet first- and a buck that needed some help. It was almost like she saw the size of Yaara's twins and said, "Hold my goat cookies!".🤣 I fed all those new kids, milked the does and tidied everything up to go into the house for a shower (already had a nice bit of j-lube in my hair) and a load of laundry. Did one last check on does, and Meira was grunting. 🙄 She had a very large single doe, but only needed a little help. Did the wash, rinse and repeat, and made it to bed by 3:45 a.m. Tbf, I left the bedroom light on so I would sack all the way out. Got up very grudgingly at 5:30 to milk and feed the millions of new kids from yesterday. Now just waiting on Joslin, Soursop, and Talitha to finish up before Cosmia is due on Saturday. I am contacting people in order of requests and reservations. If I contact you because you have a "generic" request of a show kid, please be courteous and respond in a timely manner so I can contact the next person in line with the available doe kids. Please.
