And when I say first kids I mean first kids EVER. We've only had our goats for a year and are expecting twins out of my favorite doe Frida (a Sugar Moon Nigerian) and by our ****** (an OMF Nigerian). I badly want a daughter out of Frida - she is our herd queen and my first milking goat and I am extremely close to her.
I'm very nervous about Frida because she's due in the dead of winter. She got pregnant a solid month+ early because ****** broke down a whole a** fence to get to her - he's a determined boy! Thank god we were able to successfully contain him for another month, so our younger doe Maria isn't due until mid-March. Maria is a first freshener and has got at least two in there visible on ultrasound, but our vet thinks she is hiding another one up front.
We are building a loose box for Frida in the garage so she'll have a warm place to have the babies if it's super cold outside. But I am still so nervous! I'm really grateful to have this forum to read as I do all my research to prepare for the births.
