Talking What you've all been waiting for............

We have two babies, so far. A little doe and a little buck. DH doesn't think she done yet. She is not nearly as rotund as she was, though. I will post pics as soon as I am able.

Momma is doing great too. She's quite a girl!

I am actually relieved she waited until the weekend when my DH was home. The girls are both out of school and have kept a great eye on her. I just work around the corner and they knew to call ASAP, but I would not have been comfortable helping a goat as pregnant as she was alone!

The next thing we are adding here is dairy goats... Now I'm wondering I've become addicted to this thread like so many others... Can't wait for the pics.

When she's done poppin Rosita is going to look as proud of herself as she does in that first picture! And rightly so, after birthing a brood of 20...

Well, you know it won't just be 2!
