The doe kid we are going to sell - as of now we are calling her Hazel

It's hard to get all four kids together in a group - the chocolate doe would rather run and play.

One last picture....

This is the chocolate doeling we are going to retain. My daughter likes the idea of calling her "Ellie" so I have a feeling that is going to stick.

My mother is in love with her, and she isn't a goat person. :)

I've got two doe kids - the one that was just born "Hazel" and her half sister "Azure Mist". (Same sire, and their dams are mother/daughter) pm me if you are interested.

This is Misty, and this is her dam's first freshening udder. She is milking 4# a day. Misty is a very friendly sweet gal, who loves attention, without being pushy about it.

Let me know if you are interested in either of these gals.

They are all so cute, it will be a tough choice out of those 2 doelings for sure!

We are definitely keeping the chocolate doeling who we have taken to calling "Choc-o-latte" with an exaggerated Spanish accent. I have a sneaking suspicion that is the name that is going to end up sticking with her.

Nice weather today so they all got to go out and explore the great outdoors. It is so much fun watching them try out their jumps. Even the little guy was getting the hang of it and was actually more coordinated then his larger brother.

This is Millie's daughter "Rita" and her doe kid "Itty Bitty" (retained) watching the new kids antics. It looks like Rita is laughing at them.

Rita and Millie were both bred to the same buck so their kids are half siblings, but Rita is also Millie's daughter so she is half sibling to this years kids and that makes her kids, uh very closely related to Millies probably something like 75% related. Hard to explain that one to my 7 yr old.

Oh Oh Oh, they are so beautiful. Millie has lots of reasons to be proud. Glad everything went ok. They all look so healthy. Now I want a goat kid calender so I can look at them every day.

We are now sold out of kids. Millie wasn't happy about only being left with one kid and hid her two nights ago. That just won't do, especially when she was hungry,wet, chilled and coyote bait when we found her so she is now a bottle baby.
Here is Choc-o-latte playing on her mom just hours before being hidden.

And here is her 3/4 sister who was born April 15th. She had to be weaned early so Choc-o-latte would have a companion. But today on a whim I offered her a bottle and she took it. So now I have two bottle babies when I had planned to have none.

The expression on Millie's face, coupled with the expression on Choc-o-latte's face, is just priceless! And then you add in the.....

Your pictures and your goats are just precious!

Thanks for sharing all the photos. Millie did a great job for you, and the kids are all winners.

I can't believe it; Millie HID the doeling?????????? So glad you found her!
