I was meaning to make another one of these 😅 Tried one a while back but I ended up being too busy to keep it updated.
I wasn’t planning on making this until I noticed one of my does due on the 22nd had no ligaments and is constantly having contractions, so I guess we start now!

Up first for our fall kidding is Raffi.
Gorgeous soon to be FF I’ve been excited about since I’ve had her bred 😁

I’m in the barn with her as I’m typing this out. Her contractions are definitely getting stronger and more noticeable, but she’s trying her hardest to act like nothing’s going on 🙄

Up next is big Penny, due on the 22nd. Her bag as been filling like crazy but ligs are still hard. She surprised me with twins last year having no idea she was even bred, so seeing how big she is now and how much milk she’s already making I’m suspecting she has either trips or quads in there 😅

Third is Demi, our oldest girl in the herd. This will be her eighth freshening and she’s holding up beautifully! I suspect she is going to have trips like last year 😁

Fourth is my most suspenseful pairing. This girl is everything I look for in a goat. She is due on the 25th and I’m thinking twins from her again. This will be her third freshening

And lastly we have Eddy, I’m also expecting twins but wouldn’t hate triplets 😉 another one of my favorites. Her confirmation is gorgeous! I just wish her udder looked just as good. Hopefully if she’s bred to the right buck, she’ll make a good brood doe 😊 this will be her third freshening

After a long and suspenseful day Raffi finally released a little single doe 🤦‍♀️
i would’ve been so mad at her if it wasn’t the cutest little thing! Polled and moon spotted to boot 😉

She's adorable! 🥰 Do you know if you will be retaining her? Do you have a name picked out yet?

I definitely think I’ll be retaining her, I’m loving her body length and rump already ❤ No name yet but I want to go with a fall themed name for her 😁

She's such a sweetheart 🥰 Spice is on the list of name options, but I think my family wants to go with Either Autumn or Apple Crumb 😁

Thank you, I love the name Autumn! Definitely might go with Autumn for her. I still want to get a better idea of her personality for a good name to go with it 😊
