Boots has Triplets- First Goat Production

So we now we have 3 more from one mother. She was purchased pregnant so she is not having kids by our Billy Bob Buck. They should start any day. At least 8 does should have kids in the next two weeks.

We built pens and covers this last week just in time for the kidding season. We have been locking up the mom, Boots, and the 3 kids each evening and Anna, the Anatolian shepherd, is doing a good job of keeping the predators away. She really watches out for the kids and stays close to them. She will work the herd back closer to them if they get too far away. Her instincts are fascinating for an 11 month old dog. Below is a picture of Anna with her bud, Billy Bob. The billy is going to a new home next weekend and Anna is sure going to miss him.
