They all look so fluffy and cute. Your boys look great after their terrible experience. You are a great nurse! Can't wait to see pictures. I think they all need a cookie.

Wow! How exciting! Fannie is adorable! :) I'm so happy the boys are doing so good and you are going to have so many babies to bring you happiness! :)

Thank you, I love my goats!
I am a little worried about Maybelle. she is so big already. She had twins last year. But her mother has quads and her grandmother had quints twice.
We had a lot of triplets, quads and quints last year.
I am getting anxious to see the babies this year...hoping for lots of improvements, We have some nice bucks that seem to throw beautiful babies.

Oh and they have learned to search my coat pockets for treats. It takes me a few minutes to get my gloves off so I can get treats out of my pockets. They try to get them first.

Minelson 12/31/12 12:02 PM

Yeah...Maybelle looks huge!! There has to be more than 2 in there. Unless maybe you got the date mixed up with Fannie's? Although, Fanny looks pretty big too!

Those are some big baby bellies!

I love that little picture of Fanny! What a little tubby! I had a ND that never bagged until she kidded, especially her FF.

Good to know. all the others have udders started and I have never had one not get milk before. Guess I will just keep an eye on her.
She was very loved before I got her this summer. Was overweight and was on a diet all summer. She is still a little overweight but should be in good shape this year while being milked.

Minelson 12/31/12 02:52 PM

Gretta didn't bag up until she actually went into labor. :)

Still no babies??? I've been stalking this thread.

The buck presented with just the top of his head, I tried for hours to get him back so I could get his head turned right. Tina started getting weaker and I knew we had to do something. I milked her out to get colostrum, One side was full of mastitis. The buck that was stuck with his head turned didn't make it. We did end up with a little doe. She is 2 lbs 4 oz. I will get pics up soon.

Sadly we lost the mom too....This little doe is doing good so far.

andabigmac 12/31/12 09:52 PM

I'm so sorry about your doe and the buckling. She's a cutie though.

So very sorry to read about the buckling & then your doe. The little doleing is adorable. Hope all goes well with her & the rest of your girls. Fannie & Maybelle sure have some big baby bellies but some of the others are getting there too!

The boys look so sweet. Glad they healed up so well after the attack.

I'm sorry about your losses. The doeling is adorable!

Minelson 01/01/13 05:54 AM

Oh no! It sounds like a terrible ordeal for you! I'm so sorry you lost Tina :( :( This coming year has got to be better for you. ((((hugs)))
Looks like Tina left you with a baby Tina...darling.

Thanks, it was very hard to lose them but the doeling is doing really well. I am thinking positive thoughts for Fannie....She is taking her time.
