Looks like kidding season is coming to an end. Kidding season is what goat farmers refer to as the time when all their goats give birth to baby goats. Baby goats are called "kids." My "Kidding" season usually runs from February to March. I have one more doe due to give birth any day now, then I am done until next October/November when they go into heat. And the proces begins again - ah the circle of life - hit it Elton John!!
This year turned out pretty good with only a few mishaps. Poor Kelsie and her stillborn baby - that was pretty rough! And can't forget the lamancha that just dropped the babies where ever!!
Next year will be better. I sold about half of my herd. kept my best milkers. And am keeping all the baby does (girls) that were born this year. So I will have a young, fresh herd.
