We have finally started the kidding season after a 6 day delay on our first birth. Then three more decided to kid along with her. So we had 8 babies between 11am yesterday and 2am today. Tired does not begin to describe....
I will try to update with photos soon. We are trying to keep up with the demand of eight bottle babies plus one mamas who is not doing so well. I'll update when I can.

I would love to see these babies! I've been thinking of you while I plan our goat cheese menu. Hope you can get some rest soon.
Are you bottle feeding because you are giving the babies away?
We bottle feed for a couple reasons:
1. We need the milk. They get mama's milk for a week and then moved to cow's milk.
2. It makes them more tame and easy to handle later.
We sell all of our babies. (Well, we mean to. I kept two last year.)It is simply too expensive to raise babies if you are making your living from the milk.
Can't wait for the event. If I have enough clean milk I may bring a little something special...
Congrats! That's a LOT of babies!
