Baby goats poppin’ like kernels of corn in a kettle

Kidding is well underway, and they’re popping out like kernels in a corn popper!

Lots of twins and one set of triplets. We started supplementing the smallest of the triplets tonight, it is the doe’s first time kidding and her milk production isn’t quite up to feeding all three. Her instinct is to push away the smallest one, so that’s where we step in. We’ll keep him with the herd as long as possible for better socialization and offer a bottle with goat kid replacer milk formula three or four times a day.

On the positive side, bottle babies are always the friendly ones and eager to meet guests. They’re always sure those two legged goats in the blue jeans might have a bottle with them!
