Priscilla
I'm behind again with updates. Priscilla turned 3 years old last Wednesday. We gave her some raisins for a treat for her birthday.
We have been a little worried about Priscilla, because she decided to go off her grain a little bit. Normally she eats 3-4 cups 2 times a day and she was only eating about 1 cup. Without getting the extra grain and nutrients she had started loosing weight. She also had lost a little weight with trying to keep up with producing milk to feed all 3 of her babies.
We went ahead and treated her for low calcium and she seems to be doing a little better each day. She is now up to eating 2 cups of grain 2 times a day and even sometimes more than that.

Priscilla is such a great goat. Its funny, she is super friendly when she is pregnant but after she has her babies she would rather just rub her head on your leg for scratches instead of the hugs and goat kisses I used to get.
She is a super mom and we are hoping to breed her to Welker in the fall. Both Priscilla and Welker are Purebred Nubian's, so their babies will be purebreds.
