Sometimes it's not always happy times with the newborns. We just lost a little ewe lamb a little over a month old. Say good bye to little GC-2. Her mother actually kept this little girl while rejecting her black/white brother. Brother is still doing well without her. We just take him into her 4 – 5 times a day a let him nurse, but I may be weaning him sooner just in case she had something contagious. I really doubt it, but don't want to start an epidemic.
RIP GC-2.

Oh doesn't make you that sad and mad…we had 2 goats bred this year, one got triplets..and one didn't survive..then the other one got twins..she is a good milker, but a very bad mother..we lost them both.
She takes them on her horns..and just wants to get rid of them…next year we will turn her babies into bottle babies right away…
If you have livestock you get deadstock…I know that..but it doesn't always make it easy
