2026 Kidding Diary:
Matilda 4/18/26
Matilda X Ricardo
Yesterday afternoon whilst doing some barn cleaning, I looked at yearling Matilda and realized that not only was her udder tight, she also had mushy ligaments and was definitely acting a little off.
We kept an eye on her on and off throughout the afternoon and into the evening and since she was clearly in labor, we decided to bring her and her mom, Song, to the kidding stall in the garage. She wasn't looking very dramatic, so we figured probably babies in the morning.
At around 11 last night I went to check on her and saw a glob of goo hanging that was pinky size. I told Andrew that babies would be coming soon!
We sat with her whilst she labored and her contractions definitely looked serious. She wasn't fussing or lying down at all, so we just kept watching. After about half an hour, our daughter who happened to be behind Tilly behind a contraction said, "Mom! There's a kid right there!"
Sure enough, during her contraction you could see a little nose peeking out!
We waited...
And waited...
After about 15 minutes with no visible progress and no obvious pushing, I decided to go in and see what was going on.
I scrubbed up, lubed up and went in to find a head and no legs. Matilda is not small for a yearling and she had decent space, but I had to push the head back into her uterus to find a leg to go with it. Once I pulled the leg straight, the head followed right behind and since she still wasn't pushing, I went ahead and just pulled her kid.
Her baby is a beautiful black roan buckling! He is the first kid of Goldthwaite Ricardo and he looks amazing.
I am not sure why Matilda wasn't pushing. We gave her a dose of calcium, got baby nursing and tucked into the kid warmer, and finally got some sleep.
Over the years, the overwhelming majority of our does have kidded during the day. Interestingly, our first ever night time kidding was Matilda's mom, Song, when she was a yearling first freshener. We are hoping that Matilda will be just as special a part of our herd as her mother has been!
Thank you, God, for another successful kidding and healthy doe and kid!

Mercy thinking those babies were pretty scary...
Oh, Mercy! 4/13/26
Mercy X Harold
Whilst we were waiting on Miss Peace's kids to be born, we noticed that Mercy's udder was looking a little more substantial. She was due the day after Peace and I wondered if she would go the next day.
She did!
That next morning, her ligaments were soft and babies had dropped.
Shortly after getting morning chores done and milk put away, I ran down to the barn to check on her. Sure enough, she was lying down looking fairly serious. A little more up and down and fussing around and she started pushing. It didn't take long before a bubble came with a nose and two toes. Baby number one was a beautiful 4.8lb doeling!
Just a few minutes of pushing later and out came number two also in the nose and toes position. This one was a stunning buck!
After pushing out her kids, Mercy just stood there looking shocked. Most of our first time mamas take to mothering immediately, but Mercy thought those little nuggets were actually quite terrifying and it took her quite a while before she would even look at them, let alone lick them.
She eventually did and she has been doing an amazing job with them ever since!
We are thanking God for another picture perfect kidding!

Miss Peace's Surprise... 4/12/26
Little Miss Peace X Harold
We have a herd of sick human kids this weekend and I was grateful for a laid back Sunday, hoping everyone could get some rest.
The big kids came out as I wrapped up milking. We got everyone situated for the day and I told our eldest daughter that I needed to check our next-to-kid girls before we went up to the house. I wasn't expecting anything since Middle Boy told me everyone seemed pretty normal when he fed them this morning and Miss Peace and Mercy are not due until the end of the week.
When we walked into the pen, just as usual, everyone came to say hello. It seemed like someone was missing, though, and I realized Miss Peace was not part of the welcoming committee.
That was highly unusual.
Surprise!
I peeked into the shed in the corner and there she was lying down. I looked closer and realized she had a little goo stringing from behind and checked to find that sure enough, her udder was tight and her ligaments felt like mush.
"I guess we are having babies!" I told my kids. They grabbed some newspaper and feed sacks while I sat with Miss Peace. She pushed a couple of times and then stood up and fussed for about 10 minutes.
Then down she went and started pushing in earnest.
It only took a minute or two for a nose and two sets of toes to present. One more push and baby one slipped out! It was a beautiful black with white ears doeling!
She was tiny, but that didn't surprise me too much. Miss Peace barely looked pregnant and I told our Middle Boy that I would be shocked if she had more than one tiny baby in there.
Surprise again!
About a minute after her doeling was born, she started pushing again! Another minute later, a second set of nose and toes showed up and out came baby number two! Another tiny doeling!
We were shocked and our daughter told me I need to just stop guessing how many babies there are before they are born. (That seems like sensible advice...)
Miss Peace and her babies are doing amazingly well! For their tiny size, they are strong and healthy. They weighed in at 3.8lbs and 3.6lbs. They are the smallest kids so far this year -- combined they barely weighed more than a single one of Miracles boys!
These kinds of kiddings are the best and I thank God for them. We are truly grateful for straightforward and low key kidding with healthy mom and babies. The fact that they are does is a total bonus!

Peanut Pops!
Peanut X Tribute 4/5/26
Have you ever had a heart goat? The one that just gets into your heart and you know that you are actually in their heart, too?
That is what Peanut is for our eldest daughter. She was with Peanut's mother for her whole labor and when Peanut came out and was a girl, we let our daughter name her and they have been fast friends since day one.
Peanut's udder started to fill Saturday night, the day after her due date. We brought her and her yearling daughter to the house to keep an eye on through the night.
We left early for our sunrise Easter church service, but our daughter decided to stay with Peanut as she labored, just in case kids came before we got home.
Peanut waited for us to get home anyway.
Finally just after lunch time she started to get pushy. It didn't take long to see progress!
The first baby came out with a nose and no legs, so I reached back and found a left leg twisted over the right ear. I got the leg back on the correct side and the beautiful brown moonspotted kid slipped right out. It was a 5.9lb doe!
We worked with Peanut to dry her little baby and after a few minutes, I looked up to see a head sticking out from behind Peanut! She had delivered the next kid's head without a sound!
Kid two also was presenting with a head and no leg, so I went in and pulled a leg forward to help things move along. Out slipped a beautiful golden DOE!!! She weighed in at 6.5lbs.
Both of Peanut's daughters are doing splendidly. They are absolutely beautiful!
Our daughter was hoping for one more doe from Peanut to keep, so that lovely spotted little girl gets to stay right here!
Today we are so grateful for God's kindness. We are so thankful to reflect on His grace and Salvation. And we are also grateful for the miracle of life and the gift of healthy baby goats.
God is so good!

Miracle Unloads!
Miracle X Eragon 4/1/2026
Miracle has looked huge for months. We actually dried her up early because we thought she must have taken when she was bred for February kids. Haha. February came and went and Miracle kept getting bigger and was waddling and groaning more and more all the time. The last couple of weeks, her belly was hanging below knee level.
On Tuesday, we got to watch Miracles udder literally change by the hour and we knew that it was finally go time! We brought her to the kidding stall at the house that evening and kept an eye on her through the night.
Usually, I am profoundly excited about kidding. But I will be honest.
When I thought of Miracle kidding, I was terrified.
That wasn't her fault. She did okay last year.
My nervousness really stemmed from the kidding that left us with Miracle. It was her dam's second kidding and it was disastrous.
When I woke up on Wednesday morning, I was feeling absolutely overcome by fear. I just didn't want to lose Miracle to her second kidding the way I lost her mother.
As I sat with the Lord that morning with my Bible and a cup of tea, God did something beautiful.
He reminded me that fear is NOT my heritage. The heritage He promises is POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND. Fear doesn't come from Him and has no place in His children.
As I sat there, I declared His promise over me and over Miracle.
And you know what?
The fear was gone. COMPLETELY GONE. Instead, I sat with Miracle with absolute peace.
Miracle started pushing around 10:15 that morning. About ten minutes later came a kid bubble!
After another ten minutes or so, I realized that there was not a kid directly behind that bubble like there should be.
Our daughter grabbed the disinfectant and oil and I went to scrub up so I could go in and make sure someone wasn't bunched up at the cervix.
Miracle is a big doe with a wide rump and she was plenty roomy for me to feel around. Sure enough, the kid at the cervix had it's head down between folded front legs. It took a minute to get his head maneuvered around, but once I did, I pulled a leg forward with his nose and she pushed out the kid in one push.
Kid one was a beautiful 7.2lb gold buck. Once we got his airway cleared and he started breathing, I went in for the next kid.
Kid two was also bunched up at the cervix with his head back. As soon as his head was straightened, Miracle hurried to push him out -- She was so quick I didn't get a chance to find a leg and had to go back for one after his head was born. This kid was a 7.1lb gold roan buckling.
I had felt another kid in there when I grabbed number two, so I went back in for number three and he came right out in the nose and toes position. This one was a 6.3lb black buck.
Miracle hopped up just a few minutes later looking for food and was all too eager to feed her lively, voracious trio.
I never like having to pull kids, but that was one of the most straightforward assisted kiddings we have had. And of all the hundreds of kids we have had over the years, these three bucklings were the easiest to latch on to nurse and the strongest, most vigorous kids we have had.
The most beautiful thing, though, is that my heart was peaceful the whole time. My God was there and fear was nowhere to be seen. That, my friends, was beautiful...

A Sad Day for Velvet
Velvet X Harold 3/30/26
We have four two year old first fresheners bred for this year and of those, Velvet is honestly the one we have most anticipated adding to our milking string. She is the last daughter of our amazing Goldthwaite Whiskey Lullaby and we were counting down the days until her due date very eagerly.
Unfortunately, our count ended almost three weeks early.
When the kids told me that there were babies coming, I though maybe Miracle was going to kid, but it was Velvet lying down in a pool of goo starting to push.
After a few minutes of pushing, I saw something red in the birth goo and my heart sank. My first thought was, oh no... It looked like intestines. Sadly, that's exactly what it was.
Velvet easily pushed out her buckling breach. He was born with his organs outside of his body and a very deformed front leg.
Although we have heard of such deformities, we had never before seen anything like it. Our amazing vet said it is highly unlikely to be genetic, but she suspects plant toxicity -- perhaps from the abundance of locoweed we had in our area last fall -- but we will never know for sure.
Velvet is doing okay. Our daughter decided that she wants to see if we can bring her into milk. So far, her production is increasing daily, so we will just have to see...
So sorry, sweet Velvet. We will try again next year...

Serenity Springs!
Serenity X Colonel 1/25/2026
Serenity's due date was at the end of the first nasty cold snap of the year. It is times like these that I am beyond grateful that my amazing hubby built us a kidding stall in the garage the first winter we lived here. We moved Serenity to the house as the nasty weather got close -- partly to keep a close eye on her and partly to keep Muffin company since we were keeping her babies in the house while we had subzero temperatures.
Serenity looked like she was starting labor early the morning of her due date. We watched her for a while, but knew that she was really trucking along when she started hollering at us any time we took a peek out the laundry room door. Every doe is a little different when it comes to how they labor. Serenity is one that wants us to be with her and touching her EVERY SINGLE MOMENT. I have pictures of her almost every year trying to lay down in my lap so she can be close to me.
Right after lunch time she started to get pushy and easily pushed out her first baby in a perfect nose and toes position. We were thrilled that it was a DOE!
She worked to dry her new baby and a few minutes later, started pushing again. I did a little check with my finger to check that there was a baby there and there was. But I only felt one foot at a strange angle. After a couple more pushing sessions, I finger checked again and realized she had made no progress at all. From what I was feeling, I wondered if the foot was somehow over the kid's head. I sent my helper for disinfectant and lube so I could go in and figure out what was the holdup. Sure enough, the kid's right leg was over the left ear and the chin was tucked down. Obviously that wasn't working out very well, so I slipped a finger under the chin and pulled up the chin so the head could fit into the cervix. I had thought I would try to get the leg back over the head, but Serenity wasn't going to wait for that. She pushed her kid out with his leg twisted over his head without any problems. Baby two is a gorgeous buck!
Serenity was not happy that we took the kids inside and only got to see them for quick feeds for the first couple of days. She forgave us once it warmed up enough for them to stay with her.
We are grateful to God for another relatively easy kidding and for beautiful, healthy babies!

From what I was feeling, I wondered if the foot was somehow over the kid's head. I sent my helper for disinfectant and lube so I could go in and figure out what was the holdup. Sure enough, the kid's right leg was over the left ear and the chin was tucked down. Obviously that wasn't working out very well, so I slipped a finger under the chin and pulled up the chin so the head could fit into the cervix. I had thought I would try to get the leg back over the head, but Serenity wasn't going to wait for that. She pushed her kid out with his leg twisted over his head without any problems. Baby two is a gorgeous buck!
Serenity was not happy that we took the kids inside and only got to see them for quick feeds for the first couple of days. She forgave us once it warmed up enough for them to stay with her.
We are grateful to God for another relatively easy kidding and for beautiful, healthy babies!

Muffin Becomes a Mother!
Muffin X Eragon 1/20/2026
We kept a close eye on Muffin as she approached her due date. Her mom, aunt, and half sister all kidded lickity-split and had babies on the ground before we knew they were even in labor, and since it is winter, we didn't want to miss Muffin's kidding.
We were glad that Muffin was a fairly obvious when she started into labor the day after her due date. We let her hang out with the herd for the day since she seemed happy and then brought her up to the kidding stall in the garage at dinner time.
It was around then that she started into more serious labor.
We checked on her frequently for the next couple of hours until she started getting a bit pushy. She took her time, but since progress was being made with each pushing session, we just sat with her and watched.
Once we saw a kid bubble, it was only a couple of pushes later and a gorgeous black and brown doeling slipped easily into our hands. Muffin was so happy to clean up her baby. She comes from one of our most motherly dam lines and it showed!
I bounced her belly and felt another baby, but Muffin didn't seem like she was in any hurry to let out the second kid. We waited and helped dry her lookalike daughter.
I had just gone in the house to get our two legged baby ready for bed when our nine year old came running in to announce that baby two had slipped out breech in one push!
The second kid is a coveted solid black buck!
After a long, challenging family week, we were so very grateful for a picture perfect kidding. Thank you, God!

Bittersweet Beginnings...
Song X Eragon 12/3/2025
Song is special.
She is probably my very favourite goat we have ever owned. (Please don't tell the other girls... )
In addition to being one of the sweetest goats on the face of the earth, she is beautiful. She also almost always gives daughters that are even better than she is.
If that isn't enough to love, she is usually one of our super-kidders and typically labors and kids predictably and without any fuss.
But not this time.
Her labor wasn't quite normal. We moved her to the garage kidding pen last evening and I watched her through the night and into the morning. It really felt like things just weren't progressing like is normal for Song. I thought I would watch a little longer, thinking maybe I just needed to give her more time.
Our eldest daughter came in and said, "Mom, Song doesn't look good." Then I realized that it wasn't just me after all. Something was off.
I decided it was time to do the thing that always scares me to death, but is sometimes necessary.
I got ready to go in and pull kids.
I was expecting that things would maybe be closed up, but actually, Song's cervix was open. I had to dig a little to find a nose and toes, making sure they belonged to the same kid, and pulled baby into the birth canal. The kid was big and it took a little tugging, but we got one leg and head delivered and had to work out that second shoulder. The kid bleated whilst I worked on freeing her.
We got her out and put her in front of mom and that's when things went downhill.
Despite a strong cry on the way out, we could never get that gorgeous black spotted doeling to actually breathe. We worked on stimulating her, trying to get her to take that breath, but she just never did. She had a lot of goo in her airway and I think that was the problem. I have never had a kid with so much -- literal cups came out!
Once we realized that she was gone, I went and pulled the second kid. We were so relieved when that baby took a big breath! Once we made sure that one was going to stay alive and breathing, we checked and were very grateful to find it was a second doe.
Doeling number two is doing well. She is strong, hungry, and beautiful. She looks a lot like her mama, except she has one white ear and one brown ear -- so fun!
Song is very sad about her first baby.
I am, too.
In all our years kidding, this is only the second time we have lost a kid at birth.
I am not sure what was going on. It's easy to second-guess choices when things don't turn out exactly as we would like. But I keep thinking of what our mentor told me one time when we had a hard kidding -- it's much better to go in a little too soon and have a living doe and baby than to wait too long and lose the doe and all her kids. We have experienced that, too, and in spite of losing one doeling today, I am grateful that Song looks to be okay and has one beautiful, healthy doeling to keep...
We are praying for a quick recovery of heart and body for sweet Song.
This was perhaps not the picture perfect beginning to our kidding season that we hoped for, but we are thanking God and praying for His blessing and guidance for the rest of our 2026 kiddings...

Get Ready, get set... 11/17/2025
Life on a farm is never boring.
The activity of life is always in gear here, whether we are kidding out does or just keeping up with the day-to-day milking, cleaning, and chores.
Fall is typically a slower season, though, and we are grateful for a little bit of a respite between the crazy summer and winter seasons. We are working hard in the midst of it getting the farm ready for the winter which always seems to come sooner than we expect. Kidding season, too, seems to creep up quickly and we are only a couple of weeks away from our first kids of the season!
For those of you who are new to following us, welcome! We truly enjoy sharing the stories of each kidding as we are able between all the four and two legged kids running around and we hope you have fun reading along.
And buckle up! Sometimes it's a wild ride! :)
(As we have sat down to actually put our breeding plans on the website, we have realized that we are breeding waaaay more does than we really need (again) and will likely have several milkers available as well as a number of high quality kids this spring. Feel free to contact us to get on our waiting list or with any questions you may have!)
