Hey! I have a question for anyone who'd be kind enough to answer! :) I'm new to goat, we just got 3 NG last week. One 7 year old milking doe, a 15 week old and a 8 week old doeling. When can the babies start going out to pasture? (we have a very safe and "kid" proof pasture) They haven't been in the pasture yet so I'm thinking I have to work them up to it like horses? How would I exactly do that? Also, the doe hasn't been in the pasture for a week but that's fine to put her in it all day right? or does she need to be worked up? (again) Thanks so much!

Zoe kidded about two weeks after I noticed her udder. Her kids were smaller than the other five born here in the last three weeks. She was in with the buck to keep him company until I noticed her udder and did not get a whole lot of grain since I didn't know she was even pregnant! So..I think I have been feeding my pregnant goats too much and thats why the first five were bigger.
All of the kids are growing and doing well.
Kidding season is over for now. I am thankful.
Here's Whit, born yesterday.
