Well, it's official - kidding season has begun at Four Seasons Farm. We were expecting one of our Saanens to kid yesterday, but that has not happened yet. We actually had a surprise today. We were in the house, both doing our own thing around 5 PM when we heard a grunt on the "baby cam". This is quite alarming because we did not have anyone in the kidding pens to watch! Both Chris and I rushed out to the barn expecting the Saanen that was due on Saturday to be in labor. To our surprise - Lynn, one of our Nubians - had given birth to 1 baby and was cleaning him off! This was a complete surprise because Lynn was not due until Tuesday! Just to keep us on our toes, she decided to give birth to 3 babies - that's right, TRIPLETS! She had 2 beautiful bucks and 1 very cute doe. Everyone is doing well, and we are excited that kidding season has begun! Now, Chris is taking a nap until the midnight feeding, and I am staying up to get some work done that I have a deadline for tomorrow. Anytime you want to volunteer for the midnight shift, just let us know! See you soon!
