New Kid On the Block

Friday, July 25, 2025 0:01

Or maybe it’s new kid in the barn. We don’t usually have a kidding this late in the summer, but here she is.

Minutes old

This is Sky’s little doe. I had hoped for a late summer or early fall kidding to lengthen our milk supply, so I’m really happy about this.

24 hours old

The last time I bred Sky she didn’t settle. I knew the mating was successful, but five months later, no kid. So I was a bit unsure this time. Sky is my oldest doe, eight years old, and this time as I watched for signs of pregnancy, I didn’t see them. She was always fat, so that wasn’t a clue, and her udder remained unchanged. Until the other day.

Wednesday I went to the barn for afternoon chores but Sky didn’t come to her feeder like she usually does. I found her lying down behind the hay feeder, unwilling to get up. I coaxed her to stand and it was immediately obvious that her udder was very full. Plus the discharge was a sure-fire clue. I put her in the kidding stall and about an hour later, she had her little doe.

Sky is a very happy mama! She’s always loved having babies. For now, they are in the kidding stall. Newborn kids usually spend the first couple of days sleeping a lot. Once she’s steady on her feet and Sky is willing, I’ll let them out for a supervised nose-to-nose meeting with the other goats.
