Hello all, My doe gave birth to triplets two days ago. One died. She was nursing the other two really well yesterday, but today she will kick if anyone goes back there to nurse. She's just a tiny Nigerian Dwarf, well, she's not so tiny after kidding, she's probably 100 lbs. But her udder...

My name is Melinda, and my husband and I live just outside of Kent Ohio. We have about ten acres and up until 2010 I was happy to limit our livestock to a few horses. In 2009 I discovered I have the BRCA2 gene mutation which is one of the genetic markers for breast cancer. I'm super lucky and...
