It is a beautiful Sunday in the farm today as one of our Boer does gave birth to a triplet, two doelings (young female goat) and a buckling (a young male goat), our first after so many years.
Triplets do not come very often although there are some goats which would give birth to quads.
Does which produce multiple kids are gems in a farm because they would likely produce a line of prolific mothers.
Having multiple kid producers in a goat farm is like finding a mother lode of gold because they would produce more kids which in return would be added income to a farmer.
The moment you have this line in your farm, you should start perpetuating the genetics to ensure that you will have more of them.
This is the beauty of farming. It is actually an Art Form.
The fulfillment and joy of a farmer is when he sees the flowers he planted in his garden or pot bloom with the colors he desired, his fruit trees produce the sweetest fruits, his tomatoes yield red ripe fruits, his chicken hatch a clutch of uniformly feathered lively chicks and goat kids which look so similar they are like peas in a pod.
The thought that he is able to create something which comes out in the form, shape and color he conjured in his mind is the ultimate reward for the farmer.
Now, tell me of any other profession or vocation which gives so much joy and fulfillment.
I am a farmer, as was my father, grandfather and ancestors, as will my children and grandchildren be.
Being a farmer is a badge of honor which I will wear proudly.
