Love on the Ranch
Goat mating season is just ending and we’ve sent our male goat guest, Zeus, back to his home. Zeus came to visit us for the past month to have time with our does. Does signal when they are in heat by flagging their tails, which tells us they are ready for some time with Zeus. So we had a few weeks of watching, testing, and taking cues from them. Does come into heat every three weeks so Zeus visited long enough to see if another cycle was needed. They didn’t come back into heat a second time, which could be a sign of goat pregnancy!
Millie had also been brought to another buck earlier in the season, so she’s the first to be due in early April, and our next does will be due in early June. We will watch as the birth is impending, which includes all-night shifts from Suzanne and our staff. Whoever is tending to them when they are born gets to name the new babies! Stay tuned for spring baby goats!
Try your luck and book a stay with us in early April or early June to be a part of welcoming in the baby goats.
Goat Care
Often after baby goats are born it is another female goat that will take care of the babies while the mom takes a break. We often find the babies happily standing on the backs of an aunt goat playing babysitter.
