Goat kids arriving soon!

This spring, I have 5 goats due.  With me being gone during breeding season, I have a few dates, but am not sure when they are actually due, so I have been really watching & trying to use my past knowledge to figure out when each one is due. 

Also, with my friend Sarah, owning a UTS machine, we got to UTS them to get a better idea. 

Through UTS, it shows that Hazal & Amani are due on March 6, Emma on March 8, Joy on March 20 & Hekima in May. 

Through palpating & other signs, Joy looks likes she’s due in February, which would put her 3 –4 weeks earlier then the date by UTS.

It will be interesting to see if the UTS machine or palpating turn out right….. or neither :)

Puppies!

The morning after I arrived from the Philippines, Katie gave birth to 7 puppies!  I missed the first & last, but was so grateful that she waited for me to get home.  There were 5 girls & 2 boys…. not bad :)
