Goaty babies, 48 hours old

in farm •  7 years ago 

Here the twins are, a bit less than 48 hours old. Mommy is doing well, had her second dose of antibiotics, because of the 2 dead babies. These guys are super skinny because she had quadruplets, instead of her normal twins. I have been monitoring their intake, and making sure I put them on the boob every few hours. In another week or so, they will be filled out, and be SUPER cute and sweet. 20180124_141106.jpg

The buckling is overly curious, as most are. It's rather cute and sweet. I am looking forward to watching him grow up to be even more fun!! 20180124_141701.jpg

Mommy has more than enough milk, and because she was so full today, I milked out over a quart from each teat, to freeze for any babies next year. She is such a wonderful mother, and tolerates me putting them on the boob, with aplomb that is unrivaled. Interestingly, all 4 babies were polled, which means they won't grow horns. That is not supposed to be a dominant trait, since only Dad is polled. 20180124_142431.jpg
