"Hi Tayla
It seems that the most likely scenario is an issue with your scale. A 2# weight gain in 3 days is more than even a standard sized kid would gain.
If he truly weighs 5.75# at 5 days he is ahead on weight gain.

You will love your Simple Pulse!! Cleaning will take much longer than milking with just 1 goat, but it sounds like it will be worth it considering your situation. When you have 6 to milk, you are REALLY going to appreciate it :)

"Hi Kylie
Hopefully someone will hop on here with a better suggestion than mine which is strength comes with time. Although after a month, I would think you would be starting to feel less discomfort in your hands. Is it improving at all?

Hi, Tammy. Good to meet you. My family has a small homestead in the Texas Hill Country and we raise a herd of 4 Nigerian Dwarf, 1 Boer, 1 African Pygmy and 5 Nigora Goats. Four of our does are currently pregnant, three of which are for the first time, and all due this April. We survived the recent snow and are excited for Spring. I am happy to be here with all of you. Thank you for the welcome.
