You can see above where I said I WASN'T breeding them, however, NOW I'm KEEPING them! I am SOOO bad. I couldn't help but share though. They are SOOO cute.

The ONE Mini-Nubian I DID plan to breed is due 2/8. She looks like she is having QUADS! I'll be posting more pics soon enough...

I'm going to have to make a couple of those barrels, for the piglets and for the goat kids.

Hey, I just looked and my favorite (ND) doe is bred to Napoleon also. She looks as big as Krikett (above) and is due 2 days later (3/25). Bambitski got her buckling last year and Blue Blazes (above also) is her last year's doe kid. I have kept a doe kid from her for the last 3 years! I AM keeping a buck from her this year!

Nice setup for the barrel warmer but I would have to recommend if that lamp doesn't have a porcelain high heat socket which by the looks of it yours has only a plastic socket. I highly recommend you replace it with this one: The porcelain sock ones will cost more and TSC carries them or you can order them from several places on the net. http://hoeggerfarmyard.com/xcart/Bro...t-Fixture.html

Cool! It was never my intention to go for "cheap". I needed these done last weekend and that's what I had....

I had intended to get the ones from Premier1 that Minelson uses. But I WILL be upgrading. Thx!

Not flirting, he and the Nubian Buck seem to HATE each other. LOL The girls are in the front of the house, boys in back. I make sure there are no accidentals. LOL Yeah, that tri colored buck to the right of Toby is something. he has a nice build, and a good personality. But it took a lot of work to get him so friendly. His name is Skidacious. My husband picked him out and when he was little, he was scared to death of me. He was "Skiddish". LOL So, I had to name him something better, so he became Skidacious. And the girls LOVE him.

So sweet! BTW, Iggy and Ozzy are doing great. Ozzy is actually bigger than Iggy, though Iggy is wider.
