It’s kidding season here at the farm for the first time! Lisa our older Nubian doe kidded last week and had 2 buckling kids (though only 1 survived), and our other doe Aega had her buckling kid this morning. It was Aega’s first kidding so she only had one baby. I hope next time she has 2 doe babies! In the meantime, we are now getting into milking. Lisa’s baby is only nursing from one side so we need to milk the other side out so she doesn’t get too uncomfortable until the baby figures out there is another side he can drink from.
