Since there is no "things that made you cry today" thread.
Had a really tough day on the farm. Rocky, one of our quads born three days finally lost her fight trying to stay alive. Another one of our does gave birth to quads this afternoon and we had one runt who was also breach born. We couldn't get her temp up and made the decision to put her down. I have never had to put anything down myself and I will say that was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I know being this vulnerable on this forum can be dangerous but it is feeling good to vent.
We still have 1 doe due and she is a first freshener that looks like she may have two inside, I am hoping for relatively painless births since that goat is my 5 year old sons and its already been a tough day explaining the two babies to them.
In all this kidding season we have lost 3 (1 dead before we found it) but have 10 healthy babies from 5 does.
