Alpine doelings & Oberhasli doe in milk with doeling available
 
We've had a busy week with kidding here...14 new kids, half does/half bucks.
All but one of our FFs gave us single does; an Oberhasli FF gave us twin bucklings. We still have two alpine does and a nubian cross (to a boer) to kid in the next couple of weeks.
(Anybody looking for registered American Oberhasli bucks? I have one yearling and 2 kids that I'll be selling!)
Available for sale: I am picturing a 21 month old 75% Oberhasli doe (FF in milk) with a nice little 100% doeling, weighing over 9 lbs at birth. The dam tested CAE neg. last April and has been very healthy. She's up to date on all immunizations and worming. She is very friendly and well-behaved in the milk-stand. She does have scurs, but they have not been a problem. Here is a pic of the doeling at a day old, and again yesterday- the dam and doeling:
 
We've had some nice alpine does born this week also, and we will probably be selling two of the chamoisee Registered French Alpine doelings when weaned (by July). They have VERY nice lines and udder potential. Both have CAE neg. dams (mother/daughter dams), one is being bottle raised and the other is one of triplets being dam raised. The bottle baby is in the top pic with my ds and below in the center of the sleeping bottle babies...
The triplet is to the right in both pics:
 
The sundgau (to be wethered) at the VERY top of the post would be a beautiful pet for someone! hint hint 
PM me if interested! We live in northcentral PA about 45 minutes south of the NY border, north of Williamsport and off Rte. 15. All of our goats are very hardy, even the kids-they've been doing fantastic in subzero temps as newborns.
The dam raised kids will not be available until weaned, but I am willing to take a deposit to hold them.
We are excited about our first boer-cross kid born on Tuesday, and he will be a nice 4-H market project for my dd13.
