*for Saskatchewan. Just slightly below freezing.

**I had to pick them all up and carry them.

Kidculation also seems too diminutive

I sell a large fraction of the goats each year. My primary goal for the herd is home dairy, with secondary goals of excellent grassland management/fertilizer, and snuggling baby goats. I think my perfect herd size would be 12-15 adult goats.

She had one real big one, who I moved to the barn (along with mama) and I assumed she was done. I toweled off the baby, cleaned up, checked on the other babies, enjoyed the sun, peeked back in to see how Mr. Big was doing, and the mama (named Glory) laid down and pushed out a second baby! Also quite big and healthy. Good job, mama!!

is up to 7 babies for the season so far.

Last year I had an average of 1.5 babies per goat, so using my pregnancy probabilities above (very scientific haha) I'd expect 9 more babies this year (for a total of 14 babies). Let's see how that prediction turns out.

The 5 babies so far are happily napping in the sun, not doing any math at all.
