Of course it was the coldest day we've had all winter!!   It started at 10am with Ruth.   She was such a surprise.  I wasn't sure she was even in labor until she started pushing.  She had her first doe at 10:30 the second kid came right away, it was a buck.  Then we waited and waited.  Finally Pat checked and the last doe had her head turned in.  He was able to pull it pretty easily.  I put my coat on Ruth she was so cold.  She really enjoyed the warm drink with karo.  I got a picture I'll try to get it on the web site soon!  To cute.  I put the kids in the milk barn because it was the warmest place. 

I was warming up in the house and getting bottles ready and milk pails.  When I got back to the barn it was 4pm and Tilly had one kid on the ground.  It was a doe. We had to break the sack to get the second kid out.  It was a buck.  The third kid came out backwards but without any problems.  We were finished by 6pm.  It was so cold.  All of us were shivering!! 

I love the kids, I love to milk and I love the goats but I hate kidding day!  There is so much that can go wrong and we have had our problems.  Now that it's over I can relax.  Nothing traumatic,  everyone healthy, made it through another year! 

We still have Pixie to go but I think she will be fine and it's going to happen for several months.  I think she will only have one. 

Going to try to get some rest. We start the four feedings a day for the kids and milking twice a day.
