Kidding season
Well this has been a busy week with new babies coming. I have been sitting in the barn in the freezing weather until all hours for a week watching Hershey because she has evidently been having braxton hicks contractions. Who knew that goats did that? Anyways I have gone to the barn every 2 hours to check on her since January 17th. Finally last night she went into real labor and produced twins. A blue eyed boy and a brown eyed girl. They are adorable. Meanwhile I have 3 other does that weren't due until the end of this week and 2 of them kidded yesterday also and the other had triplets last Friday!
