Farm living with goats...

[Mephistopheles Janx]

Here is a series of videos I took from two days ago on the farm. Had 3 goats get out of their enclosure but thankfully they have no interest in wandering away... they stay right by home.

Most of them are fainting goats with the exception of one.

I hope you enjoy the following presentation. Hit the right arrow to view the next short video.

I’m new to owning goats… these was my goat adventure from yesterday.

13 babies so far this year with 1 more momma left to give birth (assuming I don't have any surprises)



I had an inordinate number of bottle babies this year due to several first time moms that abandoned their babies. I did have two experienced moms abandon babies. One because it was in the middle of a snow storm and it didn't thrive and I believe the other one abandoned because another doe came up and cleaned the babies for her. She no longer recognized them.

I have, as of today, 13 babies on the ground safe and sound. 6 did not survive (4 in snow banks and I didn't catch them in time, 1 died during birth, 1 was smothered trying to keep warm).

I had 8 bottle babies... 5 of which I am still bottle feeding. 3 of them have 3 weeks of bottle left. The other two have 6 weeks of bottle feeding left.
