Violet is our “herd queen” and most experienced momma goat on the farm. This is her sixth freshen and we’ve been patiently waiting for the kids to drop. Violet is a rockstar mom – she does an excellent job of getting her babies dried off quickly and then nursing them. Last year she had kids in the pasture and we didn’t even know until a few hours later!

We’ve been watching Violet intently for a few days now as she cruised into her kidding window. She even threw up a false alarm at one point but of course she wanted to wait until the weather was absolutely dreadful to have her babies. All across the state wind gusts exceeded 50 MPH and locally they reached over 70 MPH, and thousands of people in our local rural electric co-op were without power for several days. We figure either the wind was strong enough it blew the babies out or the low pressure system basically created a vacuum and sucked the kids into the world (joking!).

Violet had two big bucklings and one little doeling. Right now everyone in our goat herd is low on selenium and we noticed that one of the boys would need a dose to help him along. Later that evening we gave him his shot and after a couple of days the change was evident. He continues to do great and is growing like a weed.

We still have a couple of goats left to kid this year! There is a lot happening on our homestead (some good, some bad) and we are excited to share it all with you! Thank you for liking this video and for subscribing to our channel. See y’all soon!
