Prior to last winter, we only had two kiddings below zero in the first 11 years, so we don't have a place set up for that. We did bring two does into our barn office a couple weeks after this -- one had a c-section and one had quintuplets -- and it was so completely disgusting after just a couple of days. Goat breeders in northern Canada and Alaska say that you shouldn't suddenly change the temperature for a goat by more than 50 degrees, so I kept the office at about 45 degrees and waited until the temperature came back up into the 20s before putting everyone back into the barn so that they wouldn't get a big shock.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-86448228896139082772015-01-23T09:02:45.378-06:002015-01-23T09:02:45.378-06:00maybe I know nothing ,but why don't you move a...maybe I know nothing ,but why don't you move a dou about to give birth to a warmer shed prepared for that purpose, for your comfort and theirsmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573583120968490931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-17434457473448342012015-01-23T07:22:15.385-06:002015-01-23T07:22:15.385-06:00It rarely gets down below -10 here, but I am steal...It rarely gets down below -10 here, but I am stealing the pre-assembled layers idea nonetheless.
