Why Every Goat Momma Needs a Kidding Kit Before Kidding Season Starts

Kidding season is one of the most exciting times on the farm — and one of the most stressful.
There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of new life… and nothing quite like standing in the barn at 2 a.m. wondering if what you’re seeing is normal or if you need to act right now.
After years of kidding goats, helping other goat owners, and answering countless late-night messages that all start with “I’m freaking out…”, I realized something important:
🐐 Kidding Season Isn’t the Time to Google
When a doe is in labor or a kid hits the ground cold and weak, there’s no time to scroll through forums or compare five different opinions online.
In those moments, you need to know:
What’s normal
What’s not
What to do next
When to call for help
A Kidding Kit isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about having confidence, clarity, and a plan.
🐐 What Prepared Goat Mommas Do Differently
Prepared goat mommas:
Watch for early signs of labor instead of guessing
Have emergency steps written down before panic sets in
Know normal temperatures, heart rates, and breathing
Track colostrum intake instead of hoping it’s enough
Keep medication, supplements, and kid care organized
Preparation doesn’t remove every emergency —but it removes the chaos.
🐐 Why I Built the Goat Kidding Kit
I built this kit from real barn life.
From cold kids that needed immediate warming to stalled labor situations to trying to remember when to disbud, vaccinate, or register kids to exhaustion from keeping notes everywhere except one place.
This kit is:
Practical
Easy to use
Designed for stressful moments
Meant to live in the barn, not on a shelf
It’s not a textbook. It’s a tool.
🐐 What’s Inside the 24-Page Goat Kidding Kit
The Goat Kidding Kit includes:
Kidding basics checklists
Emergency cheat sheets for common kidding situations
Colostrum and feeding logs
Medication and supplement tracking
Kid maintenance checklists (disbudding, tattooing, registering, and more)
Goat vital signs reference (temperature, heart rate, respiration, warning signs)
Everything is laid out clearly so you can find what you need — fast.
🐐 This Is Just the Beginning
The Kidding Kit is the foundation of a growing goat-care education series.
Coming next are step-by-step how-to guides covering:
Disbudding
Tattooing and identification
Preparing bucks and does for breeding season
Doe after-care
Milk management
Start with the basics. Build confidence from there.
🐐 Intro Pricing for a Limited Time
To make this kit accessible to as many goat mommas as possible, it’s launching at a special intro price of $12.99.
On December 21, the price will increase to $24.99.
If you’re preparing for this kidding season — or the next — now is the best time to grab it.
🐐 A Final Word to Goat Mommas
You don’t have to know everything. You just need the right tools when it matters most.
If this kit saves one kid, one stressful night, or one panicked moment — it’s done its job.
💚 Prepared beats panicked. Always.
