We Got Goats – This Tme Triplets!

We had an idea that Lorene, our first goat we ever owned, might be having triplets. She was so big and looked so uncomfortable. Sure enough that’s what she had on Saturday.

Triplets! That’s a first for us. These babies seem to be the weakest of all the babies born. In fact, it seemed like Lorene was going to ignore them. I say she would have eventually taken care of them, but Diane and Rebecca weren’t as confident. So they’ve stepped in on a regular basis to feed them colostrum and goat’s milk (they tie up Lorene and milk her!) and the babies are gaining strength. That’s a lot of work, but for Diane and Rebecca, it’s a labor of love.
