Florida homestead question of the day

What belongs in a basic goat kidding kit?

Prepare clean towels, gloves, lubrication, cord-care supplies, identification, records, a thermometer and your veterinarian’s contact plan.

The most important part of the kit is knowing what normal progress looks like and when intervention becomes unsafe.

What to do

  1. Store supplies together in a clean waterproof container.
  2. Confirm due dates and test flashlights before the window.
  3. Prepare clean bedding and a safe warming plan.
  4. Write down emergency numbers and transport options.
