52 | What’s in My Kidding Bucket and the Supplies You Should Have On Hand When Your Goats Kid

Hi friends!  Today we’re talking about preparing for kidding goats, specifically, what I have in my kidding bucket and what I like to have on hand in case of an emergency.  This episode will give you a great place to start getting your supplies together for kidding, as well as some ideas to put on your list to have around when things don’t go as planned.  Let’s get to it!

 

All the Best!
