Meg pushed all these babies out by herself. Thankfully they weren't born last Saturday when it was -15 and 35 mph winds. They look to be about 12-13 pounds each...going out to weigh them now This is only our second set of triplets in 20 years It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I cut a hole in the side so the baby goats can get inside. If it's to warm they can get out and lay under the heat light in the stall where it's 20°cooler. We had a doe that always has 2 have 4 last year and all 4 were doe.

But there's only 2 teats...so he will check there bellies and supplement with a bottle just to get them up and running..then they should be fine. Was supposed to have 5 ewes lambing ...but only 2 got bred. So it's easy to stay on top of them It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Just depends on the momma and how the babies look
