Project Report | Apr 18, 2011
Just Kidding

By Penny Crump | Project Participant

Our project is moving along. We are very happy to report that the families who have received the goats are very grateful.

Every spring, we hope to have a healthy “kidding season” for the goats. Kidding is not making a joke! It is what farmers call it when mother goats give birth to babies. Like dogs have puppies and sheep have lambs – goats have “kids”.

Before a mother goat gives birth, it is important to prepare her pen – which will become the delivery room. Farmers have to make sure there is extra hay, clean water and special supplies for labor and delivery. Most of the time, kids are twins but some times there can be as many as 5 or 6 born at a time.

Thank you all so very much for your support. We will write again soon with news about the kids participating in this project – human and goat!
