So cute! And so good to see Muffin looking better.

I gotta find some way to get some of those big cable spools before we had kids here, I don't even know where to start looking. Any hints, anyone? I look at all the construction sites I see but never see any.

Pygmybabies your little ones are adorable.

Well, Backfourty, I certainly wouldn't want to disappoint you by not including pics. I posted these the day she was born, but here's the link just in case you want to take a peek. I need to take some more now that she has grown so much in the last few weeks.

New Addition! (pics)

Two pregnant mini goats.....and unlikely...I simply plan to get everything down to bare bones and re-build slowly.

RedSonja, if you call or go to your local electric company they usually are begging to give the spools away. You can get small, medium, and large ones.

I enjoyed that video about 3 times. It reminds me of human mothers taking their kids to the playground. Is muffin the one with the horns?

I took my MiniMancha for an ultrasound today. She's due March 10 and is as big as a barn. There are at least two kids, maybe three. We will be watching her closely.

Had a *really* good discussion with the vet about CAE in goat herds used to feed whitetail fawns on those deer breeding ranches.

And...what did he say? You can't tell us you had a really good discussion like that with out telling us what was said.

Oh Yarrow they are going to make pretty babies. My surprise kids this year were from a banded buckling!! These boys will make you nuts, that phrase "horny old goat" I am sure comes from fact



Planned kidding starts here on March 17th, the first due doe looks like she needs a wide load sign on her butt
They have been confined to a misealy 4'ish acres and are eating hay like it is free Over 1,500 lbs a month, I guess they are teaching me not to deprive them of every available acre, lol.

Just had triplet Nubian/Alpine babies. All healthy and happy and an easy birth.

I don't have any bred does or babies, but I wanted to say how pleased I am that after a REALLY rough patch, all has calmed and I am donig really well with my herd now.

That's not to say I am not tempted to breed little Annie...just to have a sweet baby here!
