Cute and I love the does coloring. <br /><br />I agree more often than not after a day or two those legs cramped from being in a crowded womb do extend on their own. I have found it handy to keep the inner rolls of the vet wrap I keep on hand for bandaging if needed.<br /><br />They are firm and usually just the right size for those newborn legs. They can be cut down in length if needed and a bit of padding(quilt bat scraps are good) added to make them fit more snugly if too large. I know some folks used TP or PT inner rolls but I have found the one inside the vet wrap roll to be much more sturdy and will usually hold up a few days if needed.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next installment to the growing herd.

I have used sweatshirt sleeves in the past, but I love to knit so it's fun to make the little sweaters. It's a good wintertime project.<br /><br />Thanks Tania, it's going to be a long road for Dan, I think. <br /><br />Thank you 9658 Textiles!<br /><br />tpals, those ears are Kinder trademarks. :)<br /><br />Mrs. Shoes, he can't really do much so rest is the main thing on the agenda! <br /><br />Mike, that's the hard part, putting everything on hold. We made really good progress for awhile, so this is a set back. But he's more important than the barn and we've got adequate shelter for the goats, so we'll have to rest on that.<br /><br />Debbie, let's see, with the babies we have 13 goats with two more pregnant does. Ordinarily I keep six does and two bucks.

I have no doubt he is frustrated by now already - sit on him if you have to Leigh!<br /><br />Baby goats, so so LOVE! When you have triplets, do you ever have to put one on another doe, or are goats just that good at mothering and producing enough milk for 3?Mrs Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636736944375337989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-34513991391740578192018-02-07T12:47:43.216-05:002018-02-07T12:47:43.216-05:00Fun how they look like they're all ears at fir...Fun how they look like they're all ears at first. :)<br /><br />Love the sweaters!tpalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646231041413714929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-90438153904330983472018-02-07T11:24:38.539-05:002018-02-07T11:24:38.539-05:00Thank you so much for sharing this experience!
