We’ve been feeding our girls extra minerals, alfalfa pellets, and Nutrina goat feed. They’ve been getting plenty of hay and warm fresh water twice a day. Their bellies are big and their udders are filling up. Early average kidding dates start a week from today and according to my calendar we should be prepared to move Magil to her own stall on Saturday.

The weak kid tube feeders & O.B. leg snare arrived moments ago from Jeffers, we’ve got Pritchard nipples for emergencies, we’ve got clean recycled burlap to lay down over the pine shavings for deliveries, and I think we’ve got all the bases covered with other supplies. My nails are trimmed & I’ve got a case of coffee to keep me going and molasses to give the girls a boost after their hard work. My nails are trimmed short and the long gloves & lube are ready in case of trouble.

I am so excited and SO nervous! I can hardly sleep.

I promise to have fresh batteries in the camera and will post a flood of cute baby photos.
