New Snubians

Winterberry(PB Nubian yearling) had her first kids on Wednesday. They are Snubians, sired by Moonshine, my Saanen sire. A buck and a doe. The doeling is tan and the buckling is white. Their momma is black with a white belt....they are true Saanen kids....lost all color!
I was expecting a single out of her as she never got very round. These guys are small, weighing in at around 5-6 lbs each, but very lively. Only two more does to go!!

LOL Snubians. Sounds like a name for my Alpine herd queen's attitude sometimes.

That is what we refer to, at our place, as "stupid cute". Very sweet.

Sweet -- nothing like crying goat and burnt hair!
Did you make the move on my account? If so that was really sweet of you. I think Miracle is ready to come home -- she was jumping the cross fence today I finally stalled her for her own safety! I don't guess she learned anything with that broken leg! Can't wait to see all the goats -- I'm sure it will be hard for me to make up my mind....... =)

I'm looking forward to re-aquainting Miracle with the electric fence....

Aw, they are sweet.

Snubians? Nunens? Saabians? Subians?

We have a cute little Experimental doeling this year, too. Momma is a Nubian, Poppa is a LaMancha. Does that make her a LaNubian? Numancha?

She has the cutest little ears - a long elf ear- sticks straight out about an inch and then cocks down at an angle about another 1/2" or so. Big baby, very "beefy"; if she was a wether, she'd be a good meat goat. As is, I think we'll be keeping her and breeding her back to one of our LaMancha bucks this winter.

Gotta learn how to post pics...
