Good Things Come in 4s

Ultimate Blog Challenge – Day 4 – Good things that come in 4s

Today’s topic is good things that come in 4s. I think this topic came at just the right time because we have a goat that will be kidding soon and I am hopeful that she will be having quadruplets. I have several pictures of her belly so hopefully someone will be able to confirm this for me.

I thought that she wasn’t due until the end of June, but the ligaments by her tail are just about gone, which tells me that it will be much sooner than June. Unfortunately, this also tells me that when one of the boys escaped the pen, he got to her rather than the one I thought to begin with. This is alright but I didn’t write down the date that my boy escaped so I wasn’t aware that she would be due this early.

However, over the last 2 weeks she has really gotten pretty big. I was thinking two at first but she continues to grow and get wider so I’m thinking there will be three or four now. This will only be the second year we have had anyone kid on the homestead so I am still unsure of myself but we had a successful delivery last year and hope for the same this year.
