I have 3 Nubian/Boer cross does, 2 of them delivered triplets yesterday, no problems, all are healthy, and of the 6, 2 are does , I'll be keeping them for future breeding as of now, and the other 4 will be meat.The other doe should deliver within a day or two, and as big as she is, maybe another set of triplets .

That is so great! I was worried for you..... bottle feeding 2 babies is hard but not impossible but you'd have to grow another arm to feed 3...so glad you had twins with that last one.

Catherine, I use a kid bucket with 3 nipples around it , it works great, its in a stand that can be height adjusted, my late hubby made it years ago for me, the only thing that has to be replaced, are the nipples.

Teresa, what a great hubby he was. I actually did figure that you probably had some type of multiple feeding system.....it was just funny to think of someone growing a third arm! Congrats again on your babies!!!

Wow that great I can't wait for mine to get here but I have a bit of a wait yet. They aren't due till May. I got a late start on breeding cause I was looking for a buck. I found a boer cross.
