Our goat herd increased by 30% this morning! Skit had twins, one male, one female. Konrad was able to witness the birth of the 1st kid, the female. He called Kandy who was asleep and she made it down in time for the 2nd birth. It was really cool to watch new life arrive on the Rocking K Ranch. Both kids nursed and Skit appears to be mothering them up very well. We moved them into a clean barn stall a few moments after birth.
This is the kids moments after birth.
To the left are the kids about 15 minutes old, just moved into the barn. Below is the female paint that Konrad named Hipster. We will keep her and she will hopefully become a nanny in our herd.
and here is one happy farmer!
