We have had a lot of requests from people who want to come and witness a birth. We are fortunate to have breeding dates for most of our goats and we can calculate approximate kidding dates. If you would like to come and witness a birth, we will happily welcome you into our barn. Birth is messy, so we ask that you bring barn clothes. While you may not help with the actual delivery, we are happy to place a wet and wiggling baby goat in your arms for you to dry off and help feed it’s first (second, third…) bottle.
We have just finished our breeding for 2012. We will be confirming pregnancies on Sunday November 12, by ultrasounds. The ultrasounds will be done by our good friends Tony and Barb Gerstner, who milk goats commercially.
Right now, it looks like we will start kidding on February 5th. We should have about 6 does due on or around the 17th of February. A few more should kid the next week, and our final kiddings will be around the 10th of March thru the 13th.
Just a note: Goats can deliver 5 days on either side of these dates.
