RE: Quadruplets!!!

in #homesteading6 years ago

This is one reason I like boer nannies in my meat breeds besides just the larger goat genetics but many boer nannies have 4 functional teats which makes 3 or 4 kids a lot easier to handle. Sometimes you still need to substitute a feeding once a day here or there because they don't produce more milk but can milk more kids at one time. Pretty functional. Congrats on the spring kids and calves it is always exciting.

Sort:  

Never heard of a goat having 4 teats. Good for you! We have kikos bcuz they don't need much of anything. No shelter, once a year trimming and worming. Low maintenance. 104 babies on the ground! Hopefully at least 50 more! Very busy and exciting!

I use a kiko sire or kiko boer sire because of those traits. The kiko will straiten out the boers being very need about hooves and wormers. Here is a kiko boer that we have been using several seasons. Your kiko goats are very nice looking goats though if it was not such a pain to transport livestock across several states I would love to buy some to add to my small herds. It is hard to find quality goats as far as kiko or boer here without traveling a good distance. Look forward to seeing updates on all your goats.
