Last Saturday we were blessed with another little doe. Our present count is six does and three bucks from the spring kidding season. We still have one more birth to go.

The milk production is back to normal. We are getting enough for our needs, our customers, and our soap and lotion needs. How I treasure that rich liquid!

It is time to make some decisions about our kids. We have a great herd foundation, so we must find some good homes for our kids. Since they have been separated from their moms for about a week, it will be easier to let them go. I hate it when the babies leave and both momma and kid are crying? We have a couple of interested parties in a few of our kids. We are meeting a couple this evening, maybe it will be a good fit.

I just got home and checked our girls. We have milk. Babies are fine, drinking water, eating hay and grain. Our momma’s have milk!

In the past week, we have implemented several steps to help with milk production. This past weekend, our daughter came to visit. She is our resident vet, so I had her check our girls. They look fine. Their bags look fine. It has become all of our considered opinions that the kids are draining the mommas’ dry. Last evening we separated the kids into their own area. This morning when we checked, it appeared that we had milk. We will have our answer this evening when we milk. I am totally believing that we will be back in production!
