I don't have goats. I live on a small lot in the center of the village and will probably never have goats. But I've been coming here every day for the past month, checking this thread and waiting for your little guy to be born! Thanks for sharing the excitement. He sure is a cutie.

hahahaha I just sorted the threads by reply... Dorkwad's thread has more replies with exception of the Sale/Wanted thread. Let's hope and pray that Princess does not do the same to Homesteading Today.

I finally got his tail to stop bleeding... fixed his curled ears [poor dude!] and I've been dragging him out from under the heat lamp every couple of hours to make sure he drinks. I'm tempted to buy him a buddy about his age to play with and to help with Scarlet's udder. Seriously. She has the BIGGEST udder I've ever seen on a FB boer. ridiculous.

Congratulations!!! He looks like a big boy! Maybe he cut his tail on something?

Congrats! He is the chubbiest...or is it fluffiest little kid I have seen. Hard to believe she only had the one isn't it? My first-timer did that too. Huge as a house and one little doe.
He is adorable though. Name yet?

My thoughts are that the mother bit the tail while cleaning. Had a ewe bite a lambs tail one almost in half. I had to band it to stop the bleeding.

Finally!! He is a cutie. He does need someone to play with. I could sit for hours and watch them play. My 2 christmas kids are hopping around and climbing on stuff and are very entertaining.

Whooo Hoooo! She finally kidded! I was so close lol. I said one at 11:59 and one at 12:01 on New Years Eve/New Years Day.

Good job Dorkwad...you are a legend here you know. What's the weight on Dorkweed? What a roly poly!
Is that a rear foot?? The angle is funny its hard to tell.
Congrats!!

hahaha it's an old fleece saddle pad I cut up.

I thought that maybe Scarlet bit him... fiance didn't believe meeeee...

He's not nursing as well as I'd like him to... or maybe I'm being paranoid again. He doesn't get down and nurse with his head tilted up. I'm thinking about offering him a bottle or two along with having his mom full time.

My eyeballs aaaare open. I want a either a togg or a lamancha... but a nubian or boer would be nice too. lol

reicheru 01/01/09 05:12 PM

hahahaha nah... that's a strap... I think bawhahahaha I didn't weigh him last night but today, he's 8.5lbs

ShyAnne 01/01/09 06:19 PM
