- Watch as our goats give birth to 5 new baby goat kids in one day! Learn about what to expect when your goat reaches the end of her pregnancy and it's time for her to give birth. In goats, birth is called "kidding" and we refer to this time of year as kidding season. Learn how to prepare for kidding and what to do on the day your first newborn goat kids arrive.

This video was so incredibly helpful! As a new goat owner, with kids due in 2 days, this relaxed presentation really eased my mind. Thank you!! 🙏🏻
I'm so glad. Good luck!
I cannot thank you enough! Your video was spot on with information! I felt extremely comfortable knowing what to do when my doe kidded yesterday! First time goat mamma!
That's wonderful, I'm so glad it was helpful! Congrats!
What a great video! I love to see the new baby goats.
Thank you! We will have more on the way in just a few weeks!
I love this channel. There is so much "information" out there but it's hard to trust... then I found you folks who clearly has done their research! The explanations are so easy to understand but solid animal science. I love it! Please keep it up. So helpful!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to us!
Beautiful! You're such a wealth of information! Thank you from this newbie.
You are so welcome!
Very knowledgeable, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for great information and advice..best wish you lots success
Thank you!
Thank you, I have watched a lot videos on goats, but none of them that I've seen so far has went into as much detail as yours. Thanks for the info on caring for the mothers as well as the babies. My wife and I are fixing to head down this road and need all information we can get.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
So I'm going to start by saying thank you we love you( i just found you haven't told my wife yet... I'm going all in that she agrees 😊)
I've watched countless hours, and I've asked a variety of questions to the algorithm... and finally, you found me! I always feel like i have random questions or am questioning myself, in the hour I've spent you have taught and eased my mind. THANK YOU!!!!! I've got to give my ladies some zinc and continue wrestling with free chain link fence(almost not worth it😂). But i have binge watching your videos to look forward too when I'm done. Thank you from Leeds North Dakota
Aww, thanks so much! I'm so glad my videos are helpful to you. Best of luck in all your endeavors!
Awesome video
Very informative
Appreciate all the great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your tips. I am going to start farming with goats, maybe with sheep someday. My dad is gifting me one ram (his name is chocolate bc he's brown)😅and two does. So your channel is REALLY helping me, thank you.
That's so nice of your dad. Best of luck!
@@YouCanFarm thank you!😁
Terrific vid. Thank you very much for such great info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all the really good information. I was relieved to know it is normal for some bleeding from the vulva for a couple of weeks.
Yes, it looks scary if you don't know that it's normal!
> Love that you give Black Strap Molasses to the new Moms'. > Love the coloring of Heidi. > Love to see the the little ones nursing. Nice video. Thanks.
Thanks, we sure do love our goat mamas and babies!
Wow thanks for sharing. I'm loving your videos, so straight forward. Thank you for all this information!
Thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying them!
I love how you are able to articulate these things in a way that's easy to understand without being condescending (I could tell stories about veterinarians and doctors who've made me feel two inches tall because they seem to enjoy talking way over my head). Do you think that, with the supply issues and inflation we're seeing, there could be problems obtaining some of the supplements and medications that many of us have come to rely on? I'd love to learn how to treat the most common issues (scours, mastitis, etc) with remedies I can make on my farm. For example, I've read you can treat diarrhea with blackberry root tea, though I haven't tried it myself yet. I really enjoy your content and have found it valuable.
Thank you so much for your kind words! That is a really good question, and definitely worth thinking about. I would hope that veterinary drugs and supplements won't be too affected, but I think its very smart to start researching alternatives. I would also love to be able to treat myself and my animals in a more natural and sustainable way.
Love all your videos!!!! I do have a question for you, if we got one of our girls pregnant and she had her kid(s) and baby is all grown and is off the milk...what happens to the moms utters? Do they shrink back down or do they stay bigger?
The mom's udder will shrink back down and dry up when the demand for milk stops.
I love what you are doing very much inspired. Which goat breed is this?
Thanks! We have a variety of breeds, including Nubians, Boers, Kiko and Oberhasli, plus mixes of all of those.
New to year late. California
Thanks for watching!
Can you link where you get your iodine, antibiotics, vitamins and molasses? Anything you use would be awesome having a link! Maybe you can even get an affiliate link with the companies and make money as your viewers buy through your links? Maybe have your own "amazon store"??? Would be a great idea and a little extra income.
Great idea, I will try to post more links for items. I get most of my supplies from my local farm store.
How long is their gestation period?
Their gestation period is 5 months.
new subscriber here! We have about every typical type of poultry under the sun at our homestead (geese, chickens, ducks, quail...had guineas but never again lol) -- now considering mini nubians as our first four-legged livestock! I appreciate all the information you have on here! I found this video especially interesting; a lot of parallels between goats and people having babies! Very exciting times on your farm!
Hi there, I'm so glad you found this interesting! I think Mini Nubians are a great choice. My herd boss is a MN and she's awesome, lots of personality and a good milker.
@@YouCanFarm That's good to here! Do you have a preference in minis vs. standard? Would you recommend diving in with a standard or easing in with a mini? When we got our first flock of ducks, we started with 50 ducklings and 4 geese lol, so we're not afraid to dive in if it's ultimately the better option :P our goal with a goat would be milk, hoping to get a half to a full gallon daily.
I love my standard Nubians too, and they do produce a little more milk, but they are harder to keep good weight on and probably cost more to feed. If high milk production is your goal I would look for really well bred animals that come from good milking lines, regardless of breed.
@@YouCanFarm Thank you so much for the info and letting me pick your brain a little!
My pleasure!
Is it safe to give selenium on pregnant goats?
Yes, if you live in a selenium deficient area and must be dosed accurately. It can be toxic if you give too much.
Do you eat goat? How old should they be we they should be processed for food?
Yes, we process ours at between 12-18 months old.
What is the normal range of time in between birthing kids?
It really varies. Some are only minutes apart, while others take a couple hours. In my experience, about 30 minutes is typical.
@@YouCanFarm thank you for the quick response. I had my first goat kid this afternoon and wasn't sure if she was going to have another. Just a single in the end but she sure is adorable 🥰
@@YouCanFarm also do you know how long the kids tend to nurse the first day? I'm a little concerned that nothing is coming out because she's quite engorged but when she latches she only does it for a second, tries to pump it a couple times and then let's go and tries the other side. I don't actually she her nursing. Is that normal?
@@amberemma6136 they do tend to take little sips when they are first nursing. I would milk mom out a little bit to make sure her milk is flowing and that it looks normal. Mom's often have waxy plugs in their teats that you will need to clear. Also if the udder is really engorged it may be so tight that milk flow is restricted.
Hi, when would you vaccinate or drench a new kid?
I would go by the manufacturer's directions on the product you wan to administer. I believe the common vaccines are usually given after 8 weeks, and drenches should only be given as needed.

Did you have a question?
