Nora's babies (pics) buckling#2
After an all nighter Nora delivered twins this morning (buck/doe) I will be keeping the doeling (one of only a couple doelings I'm allowing myself this year. Both kids are really nice. Big, strong, correct kids. The buckling will be offered for free (as was the spotted one born yesterday...that one is going to TX to live with cballard) NEXT on my list is MisFitFarm, from KY. (I will send her a pm, just in case she doesn't check here often) IF she doesn't respond or isn't interested in him. NEXT is Blossomgapfarm.... here are a few pics (this little black guy is HARD to get a good pic of, will need to get him outside in natural light. Even the little doeling -we are calling her Nadine- is hard to get a good pic of. She has BIG silver spots, the spots will probably lighten up as she gets older. Misfitfarm if you see this, let me know...

they are beautiful. The male looks very much like our gremlin. He is almost a year now and lanky and wonderful. He had those crazy looks about him when he was first born (week old) that just stole your heart. Still has some weird looks that crack us up.

Your buck is sure showing himself in his babies! He looks like Elvis to me, and you can see it in the kids.

You must be exhausted. Had you been able to sleep at all?

Those babies are so darn cute. I just love that doe also. I m not surprised that you are keeping her.

My daughter (22 year old moved to the farm to help with the goats) took the night watch, last night. I got to sleep (granted I woke up everytime the alarm went off, but it wasn't me going out in the cold) TONIGHT... it's my turn LOL... two does should EXPOLDE at any moment. One is carrying LAMANCHA sired babies.. they will be the first ever non-long earred babies born here. Can't wait to see them. (I'm planning on keeping one if she has a doe)
