Amish Friendship Bread, new baby goats and soon the start of cheesemaking season

Made the Amish Freindship bread and iot tastes wonderful, had to research on whether one could mess up the starter since I forgot to add on Day 6 but according to one website you couldn't really mess it up by missing adding the ingredients so I went ahead and made it and it turned out great. I now have 2 starters to give away since I will keep one.
I now have # baby goats with twins being born yesterday to Bella, a buck and a doe, she is a first time yearling freshner and is one of those goats that did not have a clue of what to do with these babies and so far doesn't have that protective loving attitude, on a good note she lets me milk her (and she was sort of wild) and tonight I could see now that the kids are 24 hours old they are able to grab her teats better, problem is her udder is small andthe teats are like nigerians very small but the milk comes out fast, i will probably have to supplement her milk if I want the babies to grow.
I thought by now Mariah would have kidded, still has tendons she is one of my older does with good milk production and easy to milk and gives enough that i can generally get some for cheesemaking two weeks after she kids. The rest of the older does aren't due til mid to late March.
