So it's been a while since our baby goats were born and it's way past time for an update. I think I'll do this weekly for you guys to see how things are going on the homestead.

So yesterday I promised I would do and updat on the baby goats so here they are

I hate making posts like this but I need to be transparent about these things. We lost one of the baby goats, she looked strong and was nursing well but sometimes there are things I miss or the universe decideds nope not this one. I don't know if it could have been prevented but I do know she wasn't ment for this world. Nature does as it wants and sometimes I find when there are 3 one dosen't make it. I'm not sharing this for sympathy and I'm not sad, we are no strangers to loss on the homestead. If you plan to do this you need to prepare yourselves for it because it will always happen.

Well it was a busy day on the homestead, our mamma goat had her kids. 2 boys and 1 girl, yap triplets. It's her first time having 3 so I hope she does well, I may have to supplement them a bit but we'll see how it goes. I'm leaving a link to a short tiktok I posted mostly for you guys to check them out if you like. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSaBf8XBQ/

This can be a stressful time for you and momma, but please remember she knows what she's doing. Your best to stay out of her way and just let things happen naturally. She may not show all these signs or she may, make sure she has a dry clean area to kid, sit back and watch the magic happen. • Her udder will “bag up” and feel full and tight • Teats may stick out more than usual• Her belly drops lower as babies move into position • The ligaments near her tail head soften or seem to disappear • Her vulva becomes swollen, looser, and slightly pink • You may notice clear or milky discharge• She becomes restless—pacing, pawing, or nesting in bedding • She may separate herself from the herd• Less interest in food, more checking the ground • Talking more (soft bleating or calling) • Laying down and getting up repeatedly • Looking back at her belly or sides • Tail wagging or stretching more often A calm, focused energy… like she knows it’s time.
