Oh my holy heck freakin gosh those are some some cute danged babies. Worth the wait- definitely!

Okay so here's my other name suggestion unless you already named her- Never Forget. It's basically the 9/11 catch phrase. And besides, who could forget that face.

I don't think I've ever really grasped how tiny ND babies are until I saw them next to your foot. You either have the biggest feet or those things are super tiny.

Either way, I'm in love. Must. Have. Nano. Goats.

Man! The Kiko that sired our (hopefully) pregnant boer cross has blue eyes. If her kids are even HALF that adorable they're going to have a real hard time ever finding their way to our table (sigh).

Thanks Thaiblue, for helping post these pics. We'll definitely need to see more of these babies as they grow!

okey dokey. I want the little whiteish one though.

But you have to come get them, that way I can scrutinize you and give you the once over.

Like that name too. That one is truly tiny and I seem to get a few every year that just seem too small to be alive. But they do really well. Spunky little buggers!

And my feet are NOT all that big, thank you very much. Now my body is a different story, but my feet are normal.

Wow, if that's what the OOPS babies look like..... what do the planned breedings look like?

I like the little red one in the first pic with blue eyes. Do their eyes stay blue or change as they get older?

Their eyes do stay blue, not like some of us humans. I do like that little one too. He is the one who is nursing off his mama and gramma. What a little piglet!!! His mama was the teeny doe that I was so worried about, never would've bred her intentionally. She had him all by herself and did great, cleaned up great, and seems to be a patient mama. She doesn't nicker to him, only his gramma does. Interesting, but between the two does he has awesome care. He is very manly too. Very stocky and his horns grew faster than any other buckling I have ever had. He is getting disbudded as we speak, my vet puts them under to do it. Love her to pieces, nicest vet I have ever met. I wish he had a nicer looking mama, I would love to have kept him as a breeding buck, but I should wether him. Too bad.

OK, I just looked again and I got the wrong goat. That gold one is the sister to the lighter one next to her. Their brother is one of the chamoisee's in the other pics. She is nice too and I may leave her brother as a buck because the mama and gramma are really nice milking does. Mamas got a huge ff udder. Cant wait to milk her out when she weans them.

We all have chores, sweetie. No excuses allowed. They are tempting, though aren't they?
