Kidding season is officially underway with this little guy arriving shortly before midnight, but not quite how we hoped it would start. đź’”
We lost two of the three in this first litter. Admittedly, we rarely lose kids, we haven’t lost one in three years! So losing two in one litter was especially heartbreaking and felt like such a waste.
The silver lining: this strong, healthy buckling and a healthy first-freshening mama. She’s absolutely loaded with milk and has a beautiful mammary that we are so excited about. I can’t wait to share photos once she’s cleaned up a bit.
Goats are so full of highs and lows, and this season wasted no time reminding us of that. We grieve the loss, celebrate and love on this adorable, wrinkly little buck, find comfort in the dairy goat community, and keep going 🙏🏼
