Anyone Dare to get Close to My Baby Will be Sorry.
I expected Patches to kid last Friday, so I wasn’t too far off when she spit out the kid last night. When I checked on them this morning she was dirty and damp but up and active. I wiped her off and weighed her at 10# 4oz. Nice and big with good Boer coloring. I dried her some more with a hair drier and put her back out with the Mother who was wondering where she went. She proceeded to keep everything else away from it but the donkey, which tried to keep her away from her kid, until called off. Her kid is every bit as big as Dots two three week old kids, and maybe filled out better. I would much rather have a young Mother have one kid and raise it up good than have two and not have enough milk to keep them fat and sassy. This is the second kidding for both Missy and Patches and both had one which will grow fast and do real well. Where Dot is on her first kidding with two and its up in the air how they will do, they sure won’t grow fast.
